Outcomes Overview
Glendale Career College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $9,500, creating a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 23% against their $41,472 median salary. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent only 2.9% of typical graduate income. The school's 93.5% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare, business administration, and skilled trades where hands-on training translates directly to employer needs. With 79.67% of students taking federal loans but keeping debt loads relatively low, graduates avoid the debt burden common at many for-profit institutions. The combination of manageable debt, solid employment outcomes, and career-focused training in growing fields creates a strong return on investment for students seeking practical job skills.
