About this school
Hodges University is a private non-profit trade and career campus located in Fort Myers, Florida. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and federal financial aid (FAFSA, Pell Grants) can be used by students who qualify, since the school participates in Title IV programs. The campus awards trade credentials in two program families: medical assistant programs, which account for the majority of its trade completions, and EMT & paramedic training.
Federal data shows 7 trade completers at this campus. A statewide average completion rate of 70.5% is reported for comparison, but this campus's own completion rate, how it compares to that state average, median debt of graduates, median earnings 10 years after entry, annual cost of attendance, and share of students receiving Pell Grants are not reported for this campus in federal data.
Because the reported program mix is concentrated in medical assisting and EMT training, this campus may suit students seeking focused, occupation-specific credentials rather than broad academic degrees; whether these are short certificate programs or longer associate-level tracks is not reported for this campus in federal data, so applicants should confirm program length and schedule directly with the school. Prospective students can verify accreditation status and outcomes independently through the school's accreditor, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and by reviewing the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard listing for Hodges University. Contacting the school directly by phone or through its website is recommended to confirm current program offerings, costs, and enrollment details before applying, since several outcome figures are not available in the federal dataset used for this listing.
