Outcomes Overview
Graduates face modest debt loads with a median of $5,353, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.20 compared to their $27,182 median salary after 10 years. Monthly loan payments of $57 consume only 2.5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 81% employment rate reflects strong demand for technical skills in Houston's diverse economy. However, the 36% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle financially despite finding work. Career paths typically lead to medical offices, HVAC companies, and automotive service centers. Starting salaries around $22,623 climb slowly over time. Given the low debt burden and practical training, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking immediate entry into technical careers.
