About this school

The campus participates in federal Title IV financial aid, meaning students may be eligible to use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for their education.

Federal Scorecard data provides some but not all outcome figures for this campus. The state average completion rate in Oregon is reported at 55.4 percent, but this campus's own completion rate and how it compares to that state average are not reported for this campus in federal data. Median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and the share of students receiving Pell Grants are also not reported for this campus in federal data.
Given its concentration in medical assistant, dental assistant, and surgical technologist training, this campus may suit students seeking focused, hands-on preparation for allied health roles rather than a broad academic path. Whether these programs fit adult career-changers specifically cannot be determined from the data provided, since program lengths and schedule formats are not stated here. Prospective students should verify accreditation status and review full outcome data directly through the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, and contact the campus for current details.
