Outcomes Overview
Fresno City College graduates carry a median debt of just $4,058, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 11% against their $37,361 median salary after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $43 represent only 1.4% of typical graduate income. The 89% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Central Valley's agriculture, healthcare, and logistics sectors. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter vocational fields like nursing, automotive technology, and business administration. With costs under $2,000 annually for most students and relatively strong earning potential, this represents a strong return on investment for career preparation and university transfer pathways.
