Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a manageable debt burden with median debt of $10,959 against median earnings of $36,587 after ten years. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 30%, well below the concerning 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $116 represent only 3.8% of typical monthly income. The 94.3% employment rate shows strong job placement in Southeast Texas's petrochemical and manufacturing sectors. Many graduates enter technical roles at ExxonMobil, Chevron Phillips, and other industrial employers along the Gulf Coast. The 40.63% loan repayment rate indicates some graduates struggle with payments despite low absolute amounts. For students seeking affordable technical training with clear pathways to steady employment, this represents a strong return on investment.
