Outcomes Overview
Centura College-Norfolk graduates face significant financial challenges after completing their programs. With median debt of $14,750 and median earnings of $25,930 ten years post-graduation, the debt-to-earnings ratio sits at 57%, well above the recommended 30% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $156 consume roughly 7% of graduates' income, creating ongoing financial pressure. The low 14.54% loan repayment rate signals that many struggle to pay down their debt effectively. While the college focuses on healthcare and technical fields that typically offer stable employment, the 90.6% employment rate doesn't translate to strong earning power. Given the high net costs relative to modest career outcomes, this represents a weak return on investment for most students.
