Alaska Career College

Alaska Career College is a private, for-profit institution located in Anchorage, Alaska, with an enrollment of approximately 250 students. The college offers career-focused programs; fields represented include human resources management and medical laboratory science.

The average annual net price — the total estimated cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after any grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $20,150. This figure reflects what students actually pay on average, and can exceed published tuition depending on a student's living situation and aid eligibility. About 40.4% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal need-based award, indicating that a significant portion of the student body has demonstrated financial need.

Relatively few students take on federal loan debt to attend: 26.8% of all enrolled students borrow federal loans. Among those who did complete a credential and had federal loans, the median debt at graduation was $7,377. Of borrowers who entered repayment, 44.6% had a loan balance that was actively decreasing within three years — meaning that more than half of borrowers in repayment were not reducing their principal during that period, which may reflect income-driven repayment plans or economic circumstances rather than default.

Median earnings of $34,468 are reported for students ten years after initial enrollment. This figure covers all federally aided students who enrolled — including those who did not complete a credential — so it reflects a broad range of outcomes rather than the earnings of graduates alone.

Prospective students researching Alaska Career College should review program-specific outcomes where available, as institutional averages may vary considerably across fields of study. Information on completion rates was not available for this profile.
