Glendale Community College Outcomes

Community college graduates typically enter the workforce quickly, and Glendale's numbers reflect this practical approach. The median debt of $8,972 creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 22% against the $41,540 median salary after 10 years. Monthly loan payments of $95 represent only 5.5% of typical monthly income. The 74.7% employment rate shows most graduates find work, though the loan repayment rate of 56.94% suggests some struggle with payments initially. Many Glendale graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter healthcare, business, and technical fields common in the Los Angeles area. With low debt and reasonable earning potential, this represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
