Outcomes Overview
Davidson-Davie graduates earn a median salary of $36,337 ten years after completing their programs. With typical debt of $10,500, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 29%, well below the concerning 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $111 represent only 3.7% of median income, making repayment manageable for most. The college's workforce training programs feed directly into North Carolina's manufacturing and healthcare sectors, where many graduates find stable employment. The 88.4% employment rate reflects strong regional job placement. However, the low 26.22% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially despite modest debt loads. Overall, Davidson-Davie offers an average return on investment with affordable debt but limited earning potential.
