Practical Nursing, Vocational Nursing and Nursing Assistants at CyberTex Institute of Technology
Undergraduate Certificate or Diploma
Analysis
CyberTex graduates earn $53,695 their first year out—beating the national median by $9,500 and landing in the 88th percentile nationally. That's impressive for a nursing assistant program. But here's the Texas-specific reality: you're paying nearly 50% more in debt ($21,366 vs. the $14,535 state median) to land at the 60th percentile among Texas programs. With three-quarters of students receiving Pell grants, this pricing structure deserves scrutiny.
The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.40 means graduates earn back their debt in less than five months—manageable by any standard. Still, when programs like Alvin Community College produce graduates earning $64,976, and several other Texas schools deliver similar outcomes at lower cost, the value calculation shifts. You're getting solid results, but not premium results that justify premium pricing.
For families who qualify for substantial financial aid or have already narrowed their search to Austin-area options, CyberTex delivers decent outcomes. But if your child can attend a community college program elsewhere in Texas, they'll likely graduate with less debt and comparable—or better—earning potential. The program works, but shop around first.
