About Galen Health Institutes-Las Vegas

Galen Health Institutes-Las Vegas is a private for-profit community college located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The institution is classified by the U.S. Department of Education as predominantly an associate-degree-granting two-year college, the federal definition that anchors this site's index of community colleges nationwide. Like other two-year colleges in Nevada, it primarily serves local residents who are pursuing an occupational credential, an associate degree, or transfer-eligible general-education credit toward a bachelor's degree.

56% of undergraduates received a federal Pell Grant in the most recent reporting year — a useful proxy for the share of the student body from lower-income households. Median federal student-loan debt at completion was $24,166, well below national averages for four-year institutions. Tuition and aid are reported here as published rates from the College Scorecard; the price you actually pay can be considerably lower once you file the FAFSA and your eligibility for federal, state, and institutional aid is calculated. For most community-college students, the realistic out-of-pocket cost after Pell and state grants is a small fraction of the published tuition.

Outcomes

Galen Health Institutes-Las Vegas did not report a transfer rate to the College Scorecard in the most recent reporting cycle. Ask the admissions office directly for the share of full-time first-time entrants who continued at a four-year institution. Completion data was not reported for the latest cycle. Median earnings of former students ten years after first enrollment, as matched against federal tax records, were $61,480. This figure includes graduates, transfers, and non-completers, so treat it as a directional indicator of post-college outcomes rather than a starting-salary projection.
