Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $46,396 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 25% with typical debt loads of $11,730. Monthly loan payments of $124 consume about 3.2% of median income, which is manageable for technical fields. The school's focus on automotive technology, healthcare support, and skilled trades connects directly to Nashville's growing healthcare and manufacturing sectors. With a 94% employment rate, most graduates find work quickly in their trained fields. However, the 40.72% loan repayment rate suggests some struggle with payments despite employment. The strong job placement numbers offset concerns about debt management, making this an average return on investment for hands-on technical careers.
