Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $38,520 ten years after leaving, while carrying just $10,500 in debt. That debt-to-earnings ratio of 27% beats the national community college average. Monthly loan payments of $111 consume about 3.5% of typical graduate income. The 94.3% employment rate reflects strong regional demand for skilled workers in healthcare, trades, and hospitality. Many graduates enter Montana's growing construction and tourism sectors, where two-year credentials open doors quickly. The college's focus on career training rather than transfer preparation shows in these practical outcomes. With low debt loads and solid employment prospects in a scenic but economically limited region, this represents an average return on investment.
