Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $49,063 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 31%. Monthly loan payments of $160 represent only 3.9% of typical graduate income. The 93.3% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled trades and healthcare workers that dominate the program mix. Community college graduates nationally face higher unemployment and lower wages, making Manchester's outcomes solid. Many alumni enter New Hampshire's growing healthcare sector or advanced manufacturing roles at companies like BAE Systems. The low debt burden of $15,060 keeps financial stress minimal compared to four-year alternatives. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
