Outcomes Overview
Denmark Technical College graduates face significant financial challenges after completing their programs. With median debt of $15,250 and median earnings of $25,351 ten years out, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of 60%. Monthly loan payments of $162 consume about 7.7% of typical graduate income. The college's loan repayment rate of just 10.92% indicates most graduates struggle to pay down their debt. While 81% of graduates find employment, their earnings remain well below national averages for technical college graduates. Denmark Tech serves as a pathway into trades and technical fields for students in rural South Carolina. However, the combination of low graduation rates and modest earnings potential represents a weak return on investment for most students.
