Outcomes Overview
CNCC graduates earn a median of $43,526 ten years after starting college, making their typical $12,000 debt load manageable. Monthly loan payments of $127 consume just 3.5% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 51.52% loan repayment rate reflects the challenges many community college students face, but those who complete programs often find steady work in Colorado's energy sector and outdoor recreation industries. With 93.3% of graduates finding employment, the college delivers on its workforce training mission. At less than $15,000 total cost of attendance, CNCC offers a strong return on investment for students seeking practical skills and regional employment opportunities.
