Outcomes Overview
LCCC graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, owing a median of $13,680 compared to much higher amounts at four-year schools. Monthly loan payments of $145 represent just 4.5% of typical graduate earnings of $38,837 after ten years. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.35 falls well below concerning thresholds. Nearly all students stay in-state after graduation, often filling roles in manufacturing, healthcare support, and skilled trades that anchor northeast Ohio's economy. The college's workforce training programs connect directly to regional employers seeking certified technicians and paraprofessionals. With 95.4% of graduates employed and relatively low debt burdens, LCCC delivers a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
