Outcomes Overview

Folsom Lake graduates earn a median of $42,568 ten years after starting college. The employment rate hits 92%, reflecting strong job placement in the Sacramento region's healthcare, government, and tech sectors. Only 1.97% of students take federal loans, keeping debt minimal for most graduates. Those who do borrow face manageable payments since community college costs stay low compared to four-year institutions. Many graduates use their associate degrees as stepping stones to bachelor's programs at UC Davis or Sacramento State. The combination of low debt, high employment rates, and solid transfer opportunities creates a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable education or career changes.
