About this school
Medical Career & Technical College is a private for-profit trade school in Richmond, Kentucky, accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools. Because it participates in Title IV programs, students here can use federal financial aid such as FAFSA and Pell Grants. The college's top programs are medical assistant programs, dental assistant schools, and massage therapy schools, drawing most of its 235 undergraduate enrollment into these three program families.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 55.7%, which is near the Kentucky state average of 55.5%. Graduates carry a median debt of $6,333, which is relatively low compared to many career schools. Median earnings 10 years after entry are not reported for this campus in federal data. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $34,280, and 68.8% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a largely lower-income student population.
This campus, located in a distant town setting, may suit students seeking short, career-focused training in medical, dental, or massage therapy fields rather than a traditional multi-year degree path. The relatively low graduate debt and near-average completion rate suggest manageable outcomes for those completing programs, though individual results vary. Prospective students should verify current accreditation status directly with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools and review the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard for the most up-to-date federal outcome data before enrolling.
