Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $44,599 after ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 21%. Monthly loan payments of $98 represent only 2.6% of typical graduate income. The 91.8% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Hawaii's hospitality and healthcare sectors. Many nursing program graduates find immediate work in Honolulu's medical facilities, while culinary arts students often join the island's thriving restaurant scene. The relatively low debt burden of $9,229 makes this particularly attractive for students pursuing associate degrees or transferring to four-year universities. Despite the modest 20% graduation rate, completers enjoy solid financial outcomes with manageable debt loads. This represents a strong return on investment.
