Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn $30,591 ten years after leaving, while the typical student pays around $7,858 in net costs. With no federal loans reported and a 15.46% loan repayment rate, most students graduate debt-free or with minimal borrowing. The 92.8% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare, manufacturing, and agricultural sectors that dominate southeastern North Carolina. Monthly debt payments would consume less than 5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's workforce training programs align with local employer needs in Bladen County's rural economy. For students seeking affordable career preparation without heavy debt burdens, this represents a strong return on investment.
