Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $36,868 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt of $10,500. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 28%, well below the federal guideline of 30%. Monthly loan payments of $111 consume just 3.6% of median income. The 87.1% employment rate reflects strong local demand for the college's specialized programs. Many graduates enter Hawaii's tourism industry through hospitality and culinary training, while others work in agriculture or continue to four-year programs. The low debt burden and practical career preparation make this particularly valuable for students staying in Hawaii's high-cost economy. Strong return on investment for career-focused education.
