Many of our students work while attending school. But, be aware that our curriculum is very intensive and will require additional study time outside of school.

We recommend working the least amount of hours possible for your situation. If you must maintain a full work schedule, you may want to consider the evening program which is fewer hours per week.

Our student body includes a variety of ages and backgrounds ranging from recent high school graduates, healthcare workers that desire more opportunity in the workplace, individuals new to healthcare that want a new career, as well as older adults looking to return to school.

Galen realizes that cost may be a factor in your decision to attend. Approximately 85% of Galen students receive some type of financial assistance and a full-time financial planning coordinator is available to assist students in obtaining financial assistance information. Available resources for those who qualify include PELL and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (“SEOG”) grants, Federal Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford loans, Veteran’s Educational benefits, cash payment plans and private student loan programs.
