Outcomes Overview
Klamath graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $17,480 represents about 51% of first-year earnings of $34,357. Monthly loan payments of $185 consume roughly 6% of typical graduate income. The college serves rural southern Oregon's economy, where many graduates find work in healthcare, forestry, agriculture, and local government sectors. A strong 92% employment rate reflects the practical, career-focused training students receive. The 27% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with payments despite lower debt levels. Given the modest earnings potential in this rural market and reasonable debt burden, Klamath offers an average return on investment for students seeking affordable career training.
