What is the graduation rate at High Desert Medical College?

High Desert Medical College reports a graduation rate of approximately 68%. 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 High Desert Medical College have?

Students who borrowed at High Desert Medical College left with a median of approximately $13,555 in federal loans, and about 59% 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.
