Outcomes Overview
Galen Health Institutes graduates earn a median of $61,480 ten years after graduation, while carrying typical debt of $24,166. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 39%, well below the concerning 100% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $256 represent about 5% of gross income for typical graduates. The school's 98.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in Texas. With 87.57% of students being women, most graduates enter nursing and allied health fields where job security remains high. However, the 40.47% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with payments despite decent earnings. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for healthcare-focused education.
