Outcomes Overview
Butler graduates earn $41,206 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 26% with typical debt of $10,500. Monthly loan payments of $111 consume about 3.2% of median earnings, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong workforce training programs feed into Kansas's energy, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors where two-year credentials open doors quickly. With 93% of graduates finding employment and relatively low debt burdens, Butler delivers practical value for students seeking immediate career entry. The 39% loan repayment rate reflects the challenges many community college students face, but the modest debt levels keep financial stress manageable. This represents an average return on investment for Kansas workforce development.
