Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a challenging financial reality with median debt of $22,187 against starting earnings of just $29,632. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 75% exceeds the recommended 50% threshold for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $235 consume roughly 10% of take-home pay for new veterinary technicians. The employment rate of 91.5% reflects strong job demand in Colorado's veterinary field, where graduates typically work in animal clinics, emergency hospitals, and specialty practices. However, the 35% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with debt obligations despite finding work. Veterinary technology offers job security but limited earning potential, making this a weak return on investment given the debt burden.
