Outcomes Overview
Blue Mountain graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $12,000, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 31% based on their $38,375 median salary after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $127 consume just 4% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's 94.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in eastern Oregon's healthcare facilities, agricultural operations, and skilled trades. Many graduates find work as medical assistants, welders, and diesel technicians in the region's rural economy. Others transfer to four-year universities after completing general education requirements. With low debt burdens and solid employment outcomes in a low-cost area, Blue Mountain offers a strong return on investment for practical career preparation.
