Outcomes Overview
Chabot graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, owing a median of $9,500 compared to much higher four-year college averages. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent just 2.5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's 89.9% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Bay Area's diverse economy. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter fields like healthcare, business, and technology where associate degrees provide solid entry points. With median earnings of $48,143 ten years post-graduation and relatively low debt burdens, Chabot delivers a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable career preparation or transfer pathways.
