About this school

Ross College-Davenport is a private for-profit trade school located in Davenport, Iowa. It participates in federal Title IV financial aid programs, meaning students may use FAFSA-based aid such as Pell Grants to help pay for tuition. The campus is accredited by the Accrediting Bureau of Health Education Schools, and its primary area of training is medical assistant programs, which accounted for the bulk of the school's 26 recent program completers.

Given its small enrollment of 42 undergraduates and its concentration in a single program family, this campus may suit students seeking a focused, short-term path into medical assistant work rather than those seeking a broad associate-degree curriculum. Whether the program length and schedule fit an adult career-changer's needs is not reported in this data and should be confirmed directly with the school. Prospective students can verify accreditation status and outcome figures through the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard or by contacting the campus directly.
