Compton College Outcomes

Compton College graduates earn a median salary of $34,181 ten years after enrollment, which reflects the community college's role as a stepping stone rather than a final destination. Most students transfer to four-year universities or enter local industries like healthcare, business, and public service. With an average net price of $11,103, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of about 32%, meaning loan payments would consume roughly 4% of monthly income. The 31.60% six-year completion rate indicates many students take longer paths through education and career development. For a community college serving a predominantly low-income area, Compton offers solid value as an affordable entry point to higher education and career training. Average return on investment.
