Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $34,222 ten years after leaving, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 22%. Monthly loan payments of $78 consume only 2.7% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 97% employment rate suggests strong demand for Delta's technical training in fields like healthcare support and skilled trades. However, the 51% loan repayment rate indicates many struggle with debt despite low balances. Earnings growth appears limited, with ten-year median income increasing only modestly from the $30,585 first-year figure. The combination of low debt, high employment, but constrained earning potential creates an average return on investment.
