Outcomes Overview
Carrington College-Reno graduates enter a challenging financial landscape with median debt of $15,188 and earnings of $43,731 after ten years. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 35% falls within manageable territory for career college graduates. Monthly loan payments of $161 consume about 4.4% of typical graduate income. The college's 98.2% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in Nevada's growing market. Graduates typically work as dental assistants, veterinary technicians, and massage therapists in Reno's expanding medical sector. However, the 44.7% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments despite finding work. The high net price of $47,705 for a two-year program creates steep debt loads. Overall return on investment is weak given the cost-to-earnings imbalance.
