Outcomes Overview

Graduates earn a median of $38,550 ten years after enrollment, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 43%. Monthly loan payments of $175 consume about 5.4% of typical graduate income. The 93.7% employment rate suggests strong job placement in Roswell's healthcare, aerospace, and agricultural sectors. Many graduates enter nursing, automotive technology, and business fields that serve the local economy. The $16,500 median debt load remains manageable compared to four-year institutions. However, the 48% loan repayment rate indicates some graduates struggle with payments. Community college credentials typically lead to steady middle-income careers rather than high-earning positions. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused technical training.
