Outcomes Overview
Anne Arundel graduates carry a median debt of $8,250, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 18% against their $46,219 median income after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $87 represent only 2.3% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong ties to the Baltimore-Washington corridor help explain why 85.7% of graduates find employment. Many transfer to four-year universities or enter healthcare, business, and technical fields that value community college training. With 97.23% of students from Maryland, most benefit from extensive local employer networks and affordable in-state tuition. The combination of low debt and solid earning potential delivers a strong return on investment.
