Graduates carry a median debt of $9,720, translating to monthly payments of $103. With median earnings hitting $35,936 one year after graduation, loan payments represent less than 4% of income. The 89.3% employment rate shows strong job placement despite the 26.8% graduation rate. Only 22.86% of students receive federal aid, reflecting the college's low base price rather than generous aid policies.
Working-class families get the strongest value proposition here, paying roughly half what middle-class families spend while accessing the same workforce training programs that lead to solid employment outcomes.
