Outcomes Overview
North-West College graduates carry a median debt of $9,500, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 24% against their $39,876 median income after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent only 3% of typical graduate income, making this one of the more manageable debt loads among private career colleges. The school's focus on healthcare and business training shows in its 93.3% employment rate. However, the 37.25% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle to pay down their debt despite finding work. Starting salaries of $31,023 climb steadily but remain modest for the Los Angeles area's cost of living. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused training.
