Outcomes Overview
Harbor College graduates enter the workforce with minimal debt burden since only 0.59% take federal loans. The median earnings of $41,133 after ten years reflect the college's focus on trade and maritime careers rather than high-paying professional fields. Most graduates work in logistics, port operations, and skilled trades around the Los Angeles harbor. The 91.5% employment rate shows strong job placement in these practical fields. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay just $10,367 net price, making this an accessible pathway to stable employment. For students seeking immediate workforce entry in blue-collar careers, Harbor College offers a strong return on investment with virtually no debt risk.
