Is Ross College-Hopkinsville Worth It?

The financial return at Ross College-Hopkinsville is weak. Ten years after enrolling, your median earnings land near $30,000 a year, and the net price of over $21,000 annually means the cost of attending outpaces what most graduates earn back. That gap is the core problem here.

The strongest bet on this campus is the Allied Health and Medical Assisting associate degree, which clears about $34,000. That's the only program listed that pushes earnings above the school median. The medical administrative and allied health certificates trail well behind, both landing in the low $20,000s while carrying the same debt load. If you enroll, the associate degree is the one worth targeting. the certificates cost you the same debt for thousands less in annual pay.

The risk that stands out is price relative to payoff. Every program here caps out under $34,000 in median earnings, and there are no bachelor-level programs to move you into higher-paying work. Net price barely drops for lower-income families: you pay roughly $21,500 whether your family earns under $30,000 or somewhat more, and it climbs above $26,000 once family income tops $110,000. Low-income families get almost no price break, which is unusual and works against you.

The upside is that median debt sits at $9,500, low enough that you won't leave buried. Nearly half of students finish, so completion isn't a long shot.

This school fits you if you want to enter medical assisting quickly, can keep borrowing near that $9,500 median, and have local healthcare employers ready to hire. Look elsewhere if you're aiming for earnings much above $30,000 or want a degree that opens doors beyond entry-level allied health roles. The numbers don't support a large investment here.
