Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $36,368 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt of $12,547. That creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of about 34%, well below concerning levels. Monthly loan payments of $133 consume roughly 4% of graduates' income, leaving room for other expenses. The 94.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare and skilled trades where Fortis specializes. However, the 24% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle to pay down their debt despite finding work. Most enter entry-level positions in medical assisting, HVAC, and automotive repair where wages start modest but offer advancement potential. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused training.
