Outcomes Overview
Lincoln College graduates enter Colorado's booming construction and automotive industries with a 94% employment rate. The median debt of $11,730 creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 25% based on typical starting salaries of $46,396. Monthly loan payments of $124 represent only 3.2% of median graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. Most graduates work as automotive technicians, diesel mechanics, and welders in Denver's expanding industrial sector. The school's focus on hands-on trades training aligns well with Colorado's infrastructure growth and chronic skilled labor shortage. Despite the $32,060 net price, the combination of low debt, high employment rates, and strong local demand for technical skills delivers a strong return on investment.
