About this school
Gwinnett College is a private for-profit trade school located in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training, and students may use federal financial aid (Title IV) to help pay for programs here. The campus's two program families are massage therapy schools and medical assistant programs, with massage therapy (40 completers) and medical assisting (13 completers) making up the bulk of recent graduates.
Federal data shows a completion rate of 63.2%, which is above the North Carolina state average of 47.8%. Graduates carry a median debt of $7,917, and median earnings 10 years after entry are reported at $29,234. Annual cost of attendance is listed at $33,678, and 75.8% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating a largely low-income student population.
This campus may suit students seeking shorter, hands-on training in massage therapy or medical assisting rather than a multi-year associate or bachelor's degree; the small enrollment of 146 students and large-city locale suggest a compact, career-focused setting. Given the combination of above-average completion and relatively low graduate debt, prospective students should still verify current accreditation status directly with ACCET and review the full outcomes data on the U.S. Department of Education's College Scorecard before enrolling. Program length details are not reported for this campus in federal data, so applicants should confirm specific schedules directly with the school.
