Outcomes Overview
Coastal Pines graduates enter the workforce with virtually no debt burden since federal loan usage is 0%. Their median earnings of $30,214 ten years out reflect the technical training focus in healthcare, automotive, and industrial maintenance fields common to Georgia's technical college system. The 90.9% employment rate demonstrates strong job placement in these practical career paths. With an average net price of just $124, students pay nothing for their education after aid. Monthly loan payments are nonexistent compared to the typical technical college graduate who might pay $200-300 monthly on a $25,000 median salary. This debt-free pathway to middle-class careers in growing technical fields represents a strong return on investment.
