Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $39,633 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 29% based on the typical $11,537 in loans. Monthly payments of $122 consume about 3.7% of graduates' income, which is manageable compared to the federal recommendation of keeping student loan payments under 10% of income. The 94% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare technicians and skilled trade workers in California's expanding medical sector. However, the 39% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle financially despite finding work. The relatively low starting salaries in allied health fields limit earning potential. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for career-focused training.
