Outcomes Overview
Lamson Institute graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $7,853 and earn $38,015 ten years after graduation. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 21%, well below the concerning 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $83 represent only 2.6% of typical graduate income. The school's 92% employment rate demonstrates strong job placement in San Antonio's growing healthcare and technical sectors. However, earnings growth appears limited, with ten-year median earnings barely exceeding the five-year figure of $41,848. The low debt burden compensates for modest salary expectations. Overall, Lamson Institute offers an average return on investment for students seeking quick workforce entry.
