College of the Siskiyous Outcomes

College of the Siskiyous graduates carry a median debt of $10,750, which equals about 27% of their $39,098 median earnings after 10 years. Monthly loan payments of $114 consume roughly 3.5% of typical graduate income. The 94.7% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the rural North State region. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter fields like forestry, healthcare support, and outdoor recreation management that match the area's economy. However, the 34.3% loan repayment rate suggests some borrowers struggle financially after leaving. The debt-to-income ratio sits well below national averages for community colleges, making this a strong return on investment despite modest earning potential.
