Glendale Career College

What is the cost of studying for a year at Glendale Career College?

Glendale Career College's reported average net prices indicate that attending can involve substantial expense even after grant aid. For students from families with annual incomes of $0-$48,000, the reported 2024-25 average net price was $49,643. Net price is an average cost after grants and scholarships; it is not a tuition quote, and it does not subtract loans that must be repaid.

To compare a specific program, request a written cost breakdown covering tuition, mandatory fees, books and supplies, equipment, clinical-related charges, and living and transportation expenses. Ask whether the quoted amount covers the entire program or one academic year. The college does not operate undergraduate housing, so a student's housing and food budget will depend on their own living arrangements.

In the 2024-25 aid figures, 86% of students received financial aid and 72% had student loans. The average undergraduate grant award across the reported grant sources was $4,879. These are measures of different groups and should not be combined as though they described one typical student. Eligible students can ask the financial aid office about the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, federal and California grants, loan terms, and any applicable institutional or military benefits. Compare the aid offer and total borrowing for your own program with its full cost; an average net price cannot replace an individualized estimate.

What are the work-study opportunities at Glendale Career College?

Students should distinguish a paid job from Federal Work-Study and from a clinical placement. Federal Work-Study, when offered to an eligible student, is need-based aid earned through approved employment; it is not an upfront reduction in the tuition bill.

Applicants interested in working while enrolled should ask the financial aid office whether their program participates in Federal Work-Study, how eligible positions are assigned, and whether jobs fit the program's class and clinical schedule. An ordinary off-campus part-time job follows an employer's hiring process and is not automatically part of an aid award. Required clinical experience may build occupational skills without being paid employment, so its hours and compensation terms should be clear before enrollment.
