Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $32,001 ten years after completing their programs, while carrying $9,653 in debt. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 30% sits below the federal danger zone of 40% for career training programs. Monthly loan payments of $102 consume roughly 3.8% of typical graduate income, which remains manageable for entry-level culinary workers. Most graduates enter restaurants, catering companies, or food service management roles where advancement often depends more on skill than credentials. The 87.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for trained culinary professionals. However, the relatively modest earnings typical of food service careers limit long-term financial growth. The return on investment rates as average for specialized trade programs.
