Outcomes Overview
Nearly all graduates find work right away, with a 94.5% employment rate that reflects strong local employer connections. The typical monthly loan payment of $143 represents just 3.5% of median earnings after ten years ($48,342), making this debt very manageable. Most graduates earn $39,430 in their first year, climbing to over $53,000 within five years as they advance in healthcare, business, and skilled trades careers. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.28 is well below the dangerous 1.0 threshold that financial experts warn against. With 98% of students coming from Minnesota, most stay local and benefit from the Twin Cities job market. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
