Outcomes Overview
Edmonds graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, owing a median of $11,855 compared to national community college averages near $17,000. Monthly loan payments of $126 represent just 3.1% of typical graduate income one year out. The 86.7% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Seattle metro area's booming tech and healthcare sectors. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter fields like nursing, computer programming, and business administration. With median earnings of $40,174 in the first year rising to $48,144 after a decade, the debt-to-income ratio stays well below problematic levels. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
