# Fortis College

Mobile, AL · For-profit · Certificate-granting

> Federal College Scorecard institution **medians** — not a prediction of any one student's outcome, and not a figure for any single program. Earnings/debt cover federally-aided students.

## The bottom line

| Figure | Value | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Typical earnings, 10 yrs after entry | $26,652 | recorded |
| Earnings range (25th–75th pct) | $13,943 – $39,298 | recorded |
| Typical federal debt | $9,122 | recorded |
| Debt of students who withdrew | $4,846 | recorded |
| Completion rate | 49% | recorded |
| Average annual net cost | $19,074 | recorded |
| % earning above a $28k HS-grad wage | 25% | recorded |
| Debt ÷ a year's earnings | 0.34× | derived |
| Earnings premium vs $28k HS benchmark | $-1,348 | derived |

**49% of students finish** — the loans are owed whether or not you graduate, so read every figure below next to this number.

Typical **federal** loan debt is $9,122 (≈ 34% of a year's typical earnings here). Note: this counts federal loans only — not private loans, Parent PLUS, or family savings — so true borrowing is usually higher; and because dropouts borrow less, low-completion schools can show a deceptively low debt figure.

## Earnings by major (the number that decides "worth it")

> **Different measure — read on its own terms.** These are median earnings **1 year after completing the program** (early career, graduates only) — NOT the 10-years-after-entry school-wide figure above. Do not compare a program figure to the school figure; compare majors to each other. The Dept. of Education omits programs with too few graduates.

By program, early-career pay ranges from $12,049 to $55,514 across 6 program(s).

| Major | Credential | Pay (1 yr out) | Median debt |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing. | Associate's Degree | $55,514 | $27,910 |
| Heating, Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Refrigeration Maintenance Technology/Technician (HAC, HACR, HVAC, HVACR). | Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma | $27,105 | $13,000 |
| Dental Support Services and Allied Professions. | Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma | $21,156 | $11,316 |
| Allied Health and Medical Assisting Services. | Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma | $20,682 | $9,474 |
| Health and Medical Administrative Services. | Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma | $19,346 | $9,500 |
| Cosmetology and Related Personal Grooming Services. | Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma | $12,049 | $10,800 |

## What this is — and is NOT

Institution-wide medians from the U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard. **Not** a prediction of what you would earn or owe, **not** a figure for any single program (a CS and a fine-arts graduate of the same school diverge enormously), **not** proof the school caused the outcome (selection, not causation), and **not** a "best college" ranking.
