Outcomes Overview
Grayson College graduates face a monthly loan payment of $130, which represents just 3.8% of their typical $3,411 monthly earnings after graduation. The median debt of $12,250 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.30, well below the concerning 1.0 threshold that financial experts warn against. With a 93.7% employment rate, most graduates find work quickly in North Texas industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics. The college's workforce training programs connect directly to regional employers. Many transfer students continue to four-year universities without additional community college debt. At such low monthly payments relative to earnings, Grayson delivers a strong return on investment for career-focused and transfer students alike.
