About this school
Milwaukee Career College is a private for-profit trade school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools. It participates in federal Title IV programs, meaning students can use FAFSA and Pell Grants to help pay for their education. The campus concentrates on three program families: medical assistant programs, dental assistant schools, and surgical technologist programs, with medical assistant training being the largest by completions.
Federal data show a completion rate of 44.1%, which is below the Wisconsin state average of 62.8%. Graduates carry a median debt of $7,046, and median earnings ten years after entry are reported at $28,355. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $30,148, and 92.0% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a student population with significant financial need. Program length is not reported for this campus in federal data.
Given the low reported completion rate and modest post-completion earnings, prospective students—including adult career-changers—should weigh these figures carefully against their own goals and financial situation. The heavy concentration in short, clinically-focused allied health programs may suit those seeking quick entry into medical support roles, but program length itself is not reported for this campus in federal data. Anyone considering enrollment should verify current accreditation status directly with the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools and review the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard for the most current completion, debt, and earnings figures before enrolling.
