Outcomes Overview
Graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, carrying a median of $10,706 in loans. Monthly payments of $114 represent just 4.6% of typical post-graduation income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38 compares favorably to many four-year programs. An impressive 95.1% employment rate reflects strong demand for technical skills in manufacturing and healthcare fields common to western Pennsylvania. However, the 34.43% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with payments despite relatively low debt levels. Five-year median earnings of $32,390 show modest income growth potential in technical trades. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for career-focused technical training.
