Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $38,550 ten years after completion, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 43%. Monthly loan payments of $175 consume about 5.4% of typical graduate income. The 47.98% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with their debt obligations. With 93.7% employment rates, graduates find work but often in lower-paying service and healthcare support roles common in rural New Mexico communities. The 15.40% graduation rate indicates completion challenges, though those who finish benefit from affordable tuition starting at $1,372 in-state. Given the modest debt load and guaranteed employment in a region with limited four-year options, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking practical skills and local career opportunities.
