Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $40,256 ten years after starting, which translates to a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 21% with typical debt of $8,500. Monthly loan payments of $90 represent only 2.7% of median earnings, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 93.1% employment rate shows strong job placement, though the 44.4% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially despite finding work. Most alumni enter local healthcare support, manufacturing, and service industries around Columbia and Nashville. With net costs under $5,000 for most students and relatively quick entry into the workforce, this represents a strong return on investment for career-focused training.
