Is Concorde Career College-Dallas Worth It?

Concorde Career College-Dallas gives you a mixed financial return that depends entirely on which health program you pick. The median graduate earns about $42,000 a decade after enrolling, and the median debt is low at $9,500. That low debt figure is the school's strongest point, but it hides wide gaps between programs, and the net price of nearly $23,000 a year is steep for a two-year for-profit.

The dental support associate degree is the clear winner here, with graduates out-earning every other program by roughly $8,000 a year. Allied health and medical assisting also pays reasonably well. The problem is that these associate programs carry debt around $25,000, far above the school-wide median, so the strong earnings come with a heavier loan. The practical nursing certificate is the smarter deal: solid earnings near $47,000 against just $13,000 in debt.

Avoid the health and medical administrative services certificate. It pays under $27,000 a year, barely above the net price of a single year, and it's the lowest earner on the list. That program does not pay off.

The specific risk at this school is the sticker price. Net price barely drops for low-income families, sitting above $22,000 even for those earning under $30,000. Families above $75,000 pay closer to $27,000. There's no meaningful discount for having less money, so you carry nearly the full cost regardless of income.

This school fits you if you're targeting dental support or vocational nursing and can control your borrowing. Look elsewhere if you're drawn to the medical administrative track or if you need a school that scales price to income. The 59% graduation rate also means a real chance you leave with cost and no credential.
