About this school

Four Rivers Career Center is a public career-training campus in Washington, Missouri. It is accredited by the Missouri State Board of Nursing and is approved for federal financial aid (Title IV), meaning eligible students can use FAFSA-based aid to help pay for enrollment. The campus offers one program family, LPN / LVN programs, and awarded 27 completions in the most recent reporting period out of an undergraduate enrollment of 30.

Federal data shows a completion rate of 100.0%, compared with a Missouri state average of 69.3% — placing this campus above the state average. Median debt among graduates is $10,623, and median earnings 10 years after entry are $48,199, per the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. Cost of attendance is not reported for this campus in federal data. About 65.4% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a substantial share of aid-eligible enrollment.

Given its single, focused LPN/LVN offering and small enrollment, this campus may suit students seeking a direct route into practical nursing licensure rather than a multi-program associate-degree setting. The 'Distant town' locale designation suggests it primarily serves a local or regional population. Prospective students, including career changers, should verify current accreditation status directly with the Missouri State Board of Nursing and review the College Scorecard listing for the latest data before enrolling, since program length, schedule, and licensure requirements are not detailed here.
