Health Services/Allied Health/Health Sciences at Carrington College-Phoenix North

With a graduating class under 30 students, the data here is limited, but what we see suggests Carrington College-Phoenix North delivers competitive preparation for Arizona's allied health workforce. Graduates earn $36,999 their first year—$4,200 above the national median for associate-level health programs and exactly matching Arizona's state median. That 60th percentile state ranking means this program performs better than most alternatives in Arizona, though with only six programs statewide, your comparison set is narrow.

The debt picture looks manageable: $15,859 represents less than half of first-year earnings, which is a healthy starting point for an associate degree. While that's slightly above the national median debt for this program type, it's proportionate to the higher earnings. Over half of students here receive Pell grants, indicating the program serves students from lower-income backgrounds who need credential programs that lead directly to employment.

The small sample size is the main caveat—individual circumstances could skew these numbers significantly. But for families evaluating affordable health career pathways in Phoenix, this program appears to deliver competitive outcomes without excessive debt burden. Just recognize you're looking at a snapshot based on a handful of graduates rather than a robust multi-year trend.
