Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a challenging debt-to-earnings ratio of 31%, with median debt of $14,181 against earnings of $45,665. Monthly loan payments of $150 consume about 4% of take-home pay, which is manageable for most budgets. The 94.3% employment rate reflects strong local workforce connections in healthcare, education, and tribal administration. However, the 38.34% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite finding work. Mean earnings of $28,500 after six years indicate income growth remains limited. The college's focus on serving Native communities creates meaningful career paths but often in lower-paying public service roles. This represents an average return on investment given the modest debt load but constrained earning potential.
