Federal Scorecard data shows a completion rate of 25.8%, which is below the Georgia state average of 49.7%. Median debt among graduates is reported at $20,000.

Pell Grant recipients make up 100.0% of the student body, indicating the population served relies heavily on federal aid.

Because this campus offers a single, focused radiology and sonography program rather than a broad associate-degree catalog, it may suit students who already know they want to enter sonography and are looking for a concentrated program rather than a general studies path. Whether the schedule or format fits an adult career-changer is not stated in the available data. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools and review the school's official page on the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard before enrolling, since program length, cost, and post-completion earnings are not fully detailed in the inputs available here.
