Outcomes Overview
Galen Health Institutes graduates enter a healthcare job market with strong demand, achieving a 98.4% employment rate. The median debt of $24,166 represents a manageable 39% of first-year earnings at $61,480. Monthly loan payments of $256 consume about 5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. Healthcare employers actively recruit from specialized programs like nursing and medical assisting. The 40.47% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially despite decent earnings. While starting salaries around $61,000 provide stability in Asheville's lower cost-of-living market, the debt load remains reasonable for healthcare careers. This represents an average return on investment for students committed to healthcare professions.
