Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $47,384 ten years after enrollment, while carrying typical debt of $20,903. Monthly loan payments of $222 consume about 5.6% of gross income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The employment rate reaches 92.6%, reflecting strong job market demand in Atlanta's diverse economy. Many graduates transition into healthcare support, business administration, and public service roles that value associate degrees. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.44 compares favorably to four-year institutions where ratios often exceed 1.0. With in-state tuition at just $2,960, students access affordable education in one of the Southeast's major metropolitan areas. Despite the modest 22% six-year completion rate, graduates who finish enjoy a strong return on investment.
