Outcomes Overview
Chaffey graduates earn $42,975 ten years after completion, which reflects the college's role as a stepping stone rather than a final destination. Most students transfer to four-year universities or enter trades like automotive technology and healthcare support roles. The employment rate hits 86.7%, showing strong job placement success. Only 0.60% of students take federal loans, meaning minimal debt burden for most graduates. When students do borrow, payments typically represent less than 5% of their income. The college serves as an affordable pathway into California's workforce, particularly for the 63% Hispanic student population seeking career advancement. This represents a strong return on investment for community college education.
