Outcomes Overview
Mech-Tech graduates earn a median of $24,967 ten years after completing their programs. With typical debt of $3,500, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 14%, well below the concerning 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $37 represent only 1.8% of median income, making repayment very manageable. However, the 37% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle financially despite low debt loads. The college primarily trains students for automotive, HVAC, and industrial maintenance roles in Puerto Rico's manufacturing sector. While 54% of graduates find employment, the relatively low earnings reflect the technical nature of these positions. This represents an average return on investment given the affordable debt but modest earning potential.
