Outcomes Overview
Huntington Junior College graduates earn a median salary of $21,783 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 99%. Monthly loan payments of $229 consume 13% of typical graduate income. The 19.70% loan repayment rate indicates most students struggle to pay down debt. This small business-focused college has historically prepared students for administrative and clerical roles in West Virginia's service economy. The 81.8% employment rate shows graduates find work, but earnings lag behind the national median for associate degree holders by roughly $15,000. Combined with the 12.50% graduation rate, this represents a weak return on investment for most students who complete the program.
