Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $48,341 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt of $11,884. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 25%, well below the recommended 30% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $126 consume just 3.1% of median graduate income. The 92.7% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Denver metro's growing economy. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter healthcare, business, and technical fields where community college credentials provide solid entry points. Low borrowing costs combined with respectable earnings make this a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable career preparation or transfer pathways.
