Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $44,783 ten years after starting at LCCC. With typical debt of $11,000, the debt-to-earnings ratio sits at a manageable 25%. Monthly loan payments of $117 represent just 3% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong ties to Wyoming's energy and agriculture sectors help explain the solid 94.8% employment rate. Many graduates enter fields like diesel technology, nursing, and business where two-year credentials lead directly to middle-class careers. While the 31% six-year graduation rate reflects the challenges many community college students face, those who complete programs see decent financial returns. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
