What will it actually cost?

Sticker price: Data not available
Net price (after aid): $39,005

Most students pay the net price after financial aid, not the sticker price.

Net price by family income

$0 – $30k: $39,005 (above the federal borrowing ceiling)

Can federal loans cover it? (2026 limits)

For families earning $0 – $30k, the average net price here is above the $25,500 a first-year dependent student and their parents can borrow federally from 1 July 2026, by up to $13,505. That part has to come from savings, income, work, or private loans.

The ceiling is $5,500 in the student’s own Direct Loan plus up to $20,000 in Parent PLUS, which requires that the parent has no adverse credit history. Net prices are averages for a prior cohort of aid recipients, not a quote. Source: Federal Student Aid loan limits. Where this gap is largest.

FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

Eastern Virginia Career College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $59,011, above the $35,878 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Virginia.

This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 11 of Eastern Virginia Career College's 217 students (5%) were enrolled entirely at a distance.

Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions

About Eastern Virginia Career College

Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.

Where is Eastern Virginia Career College located?
Eastern Virginia Career College is located in Fredericksburg, VA, in the United States.
What type of institution is Eastern Virginia Career College?
Eastern Virginia Career College is a private community college based in VA. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
What is the acceptance rate at Eastern Virginia Career College?
The most recently reported acceptance rate at Eastern Virginia Career College is approximately 96% (IPEDS, applicants for fall 2024). Acceptance rate signals selectivity but does not predict any individual applicant's outcome and is not a measure of school quality. CampusPin reports the federally-published value; verify the current cycle with the institution.
How many students attend Eastern Virginia Career College?
Eastern Virginia Career College reports total enrollment of approximately 177 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
How much does Eastern Virginia Career College actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at Eastern Virginia Career College is approximately $39,005 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
What is the graduation rate at Eastern Virginia Career College?
Eastern Virginia Career College reports a graduation rate of approximately 66% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
How much student debt do graduates of Eastern Virginia Career College have?
Students who borrowed at Eastern Virginia Career College left with a median of approximately $10,500 in federal loans, and about 62% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
How much do graduates of Eastern Virginia Career College earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $37,304 for students who received federal financial aid at Eastern Virginia Career College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
How should I verify final details about Eastern Virginia Career College?
CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Eastern Virginia Career College.
How much do Nursing (RN) graduates from Eastern Virginia Career College earn?
Eastern Virginia Career College's associate's graduates in Nursing (RN) earned a median $90,158 four years after graduating, 12% above the $80,813 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $66,430; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $14,750 in federal loans at this college (about $156 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $20,625 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). For context, registered nurses in Virginia are paid a median $93,600 a year across all experience levels (BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025), a figure for everyone in the job, not only recent graduates.
How much do Medical Assisting and Allied Health graduates from Eastern Virginia Career College earn?
Eastern Virginia Career College's associate's graduates in Medical Assisting and Allied Health earned a median $55,187 four years after graduating, 31% above the $42,269 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $48,020; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $14,750 in federal loans at this college (about $156 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $22,333 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
Which programs at Eastern Virginia Career College have the highest graduate earnings?
Among the 3 programs at Eastern Virginia Career College with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Nursing (RN), associate's ($90,158); Practical Nursing (LPN/LVN), certificate ($57,062); and Medical Assisting and Allied Health, associate's ($55,187) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
Does Eastern Virginia Career College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Eastern Virginia Career College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $59,011, above the $35,878 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in Virginia, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
