Outcomes Overview
Graduates enter healthcare fields with strong earning potential despite moderate debt loads. The median debt of $40,326 creates monthly payments of $428, which represents about 5.5% of typical graduate income based on median earnings of $93,610 after ten years. This debt-to-income ratio falls well below the recommended 10% threshold for manageable student loans. The 98.1% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare professionals in California's robust medical sector. Most graduates become registered nurses, physician assistants, or other healthcare practitioners in hospitals and clinical settings. The loan repayment rate of 63.5% suggests some graduates struggle initially, but long-term earnings justify the investment. Overall, this represents a strong return on investment for healthcare-focused students.
