Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a challenging financial reality with median earnings of $32,307 ten years out. The average net price of $3,041 creates manageable debt loads for most students. Monthly loan payments would consume roughly 8-10% of typical graduate income, which falls within acceptable ranges. The 91.8% employment rate shows strong job placement success. Many graduates enter healthcare support, skilled trades, and local government positions that anchor Alabama's rural economy. The college's career-focused programs align well with regional employer needs in manufacturing and agriculture. While earnings lag behind four-year graduates, the low cost of attendance and practical training create a strong return on investment for students seeking immediate workforce entry.
