Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn $33,070 ten years after completing their programs, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 29% with typical debt of $9,500. Monthly loan payments of $101 consume about 3.7% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 93.5% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in Houston's massive medical center. Most graduates enter roles as medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and dental assistants in hospitals and clinics. The 32% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments despite relatively low debt loads. Given the modest earnings potential against healthcare program costs, this represents an average return on investment for career-focused training.
