Outcomes Overview
Centura College graduates enter a challenging financial landscape after completing their programs. With median debt of $14,750 and median earnings of $25,930 ten years out, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of 57%, well above the recommended 30% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $156 consume about 7% of typical graduate income, which is manageable but tight for entry-level workers. The 90.6% employment rate shows most graduates find jobs, likely in healthcare support roles, medical assisting, or business administration positions that the college emphasizes. However, the 14.54% loan repayment rate reveals many struggle to pay down their debt. For a career college focused on quick job training, this represents a weak return on investment given the modest earning potential.
