Outcomes Overview
Foothill graduates earn a median of $57,072 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 18% with typical debt loads of $10,500. Monthly loan payments of $111 represent only 2.3% of median monthly income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 92.5% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Silicon Valley's tech ecosystem, where many graduates transition from Foothill's career programs into roles at local companies or continue their education at four-year universities. With strongly low borrowing costs and solid earning potential in one of the nation's most expensive but highest-paying regions, Foothill delivers a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable pathways into California's job market.
