Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn $81,809 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 0.33. Monthly loan payments of $281 consume just 4.1% of typical graduate income. The 98.8% employment rate reflects nursing's high demand nationwide. Three-quarters of borrowers successfully repay their loans within the standard timeframe. Most graduates enter hospital systems, clinics, or specialized care facilities where registered nurses command strong salaries. The college's focus on clinical training helps students transition directly into practice. With nursing shortages driving up wages across Colorado and beyond, graduates see consistent career growth opportunities. This represents a strong return on investment for healthcare-focused students.
