Outcomes Overview
Graduates typically earn $45,762 ten years after leaving, creating a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 10% with median debt of $4,519. Monthly loan payments average $48, consuming only 1.2% of typical graduate income. The 87.1% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Houston metropolitan area's energy, petrochemical, and healthcare sectors. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter technical fields where community college credentials provide direct pathways to employment. The loan repayment rate of 49.83% suggests some graduates struggle with payments, though low debt burdens minimize long-term financial risk. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
