Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $34,238 ten years after completing their programs, while carrying typical debt loads of $10,500. Monthly loan payments of $111 consume about 3.9% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.31 is favorable for a two-year program. Most graduates enter healthcare support roles, skilled trades, and local service industries that serve the Arkansas tourism economy around the Buffalo National River region. The 92% employment rate reflects strong workforce connections in north-central Arkansas. With low borrowing costs and steady regional job placement, this represents a strong return on investment for students seeking practical career training without excessive debt burden.
