Outcomes Overview
Carrington College-Albuquerque graduates enter a challenging financial landscape with a median debt of $9,500 and monthly payments of $101. That monthly payment consumes roughly 3.3% of graduates' typical $36,718 median earnings after 10 years. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.26 is relatively manageable compared to many career colleges. However, only 32.93% of borrowers are successfully repaying their loans. Most graduates pursue healthcare careers as medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and dental hygienists in Albuquerque's growing medical sector. The 93.8% employment rate shows strong job placement, but earnings growth appears limited given the modest increase from $31,639 at one year to $36,718 at 10 years. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused training.
