Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $35,507 ten years after attending, while carrying typical debt of $14,250. That creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 40%, well below the concerning 100% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $151 consume about 5% of median income. The college's strong employment rate of 95.3% reflects robust demand for skilled technicians in the Grand Strand's tourism, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. Many graduates enter fields like dental hygiene, culinary arts, and automotive technology where two-year credentials lead directly to middle-class careers. The low net price of $3,719 makes this an accessible path to stable employment. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
