Outcomes Overview
Galen graduates enter a healthcare job market with strong demand, achieving a 98.4% employment rate. The median debt of $24,166 represents just 39% of first-year earnings of $61,480. Monthly loan payments of $256 consume about 5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. Most graduates become registered nurses, medical assistants, or healthcare technicians in South Florida's growing medical sector. The debt-to-income ratio compares favorably to national averages for healthcare programs. Earnings grow modestly over time, with 10-year median income reaching $61,480. Despite the for-profit structure and higher net costs, graduates see strong employment outcomes in recession-resistant healthcare fields. This represents a strong return on investment.
