Outcomes Overview
John A Logan graduates earn a median of $34,096 ten years after leaving, which reflects the college's focus on practical trades and healthcare programs. The 94% employment rate shows strong job placement in southern Illinois's manufacturing and healthcare sectors. With in-state tuition at $4,630 and no federal loan debt reported, most students avoid the crushing debt burdens that plague four-year graduates. The typical graduate would spend roughly 14% of their income on educational debt payments, well below the recommended 10-15% threshold. Many enter fields like nursing, welding, and automotive technology where community college credentials lead directly to middle-class wages. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
