Is Pima Medical Institute-Dillon Worth It?

I don't have enough program-level data to write an accurate ROI analysis for this school. Let me flag the gaps before drafting, since the guidelines require every claim to be grounded. Here's what the data supports, written within the hard rules:

The financial return here is weak on paper. You pay about $25,676 a year in net price, and ten years after enrolling the median graduate earns $30,917. That means one year of cost nearly equals a full year of post-enrollment earnings, and there is no listed income tier below that price to soften it for lower-income families.

The one number working in your favor is debt. Median debt sits at $5,500, far below the annual net price, so most of what you pay comes from grants, savings, or income rather than loans. That $5,500 is manageable against a $30,917 salary, which keeps the downside contained even if earnings stay flat.

The graduation rate is 63.3%, so you have a reasonable chance of finishing what you start. But finishing does not fix the core problem: the credential here does not translate into strong pay.

The net price data only lists one tier, under $30k at the full $25,676, so there is no evidence of steeper discounts as income rises or falls. If your family earns under $30k, you are looking at a cost that swallows most of a year's future income, and the data gives no sign of aid that changes that math.

This school fits you if you want a short, low-debt path into a specific medical support role and you value low borrowing over high earnings. If you need a salary that clears your costs within a few years, the listed earnings do not support that, and you should compare against cheaper or higher-paying options.

Note: the data context lists no program-level salary or credential breakdowns, so I could not tell you which majors pay off versus which don't. If you can supply the per-program earnings and credential levels, I'll revise to address that directly.
