Outcomes Overview
IVC graduates earn a median of $49,156 ten years after completing their programs. The typical graduate carries just $6,500 in debt, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of only 13 percent. Monthly loan payments of $69 represent about 1.7 percent of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10 percent threshold. The college's strong ties to Orange County's tech and healthcare industries help explain the 85.7 percent employment rate. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter careers in nursing, business, and engineering technology. With minimal debt and solid earning potential in one of California's most prosperous regions, IVC delivers a strong return on investment.
