Outcomes Overview
Midland College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $10,670, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 24% against their $43,958 median income. Monthly loan payments of $113 represent only 3.1% of typical monthly earnings. The 90.9% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Permian Basin's booming oil and gas sector. Many graduates find work as petroleum technicians, in healthcare facilities, or continue their education at four-year universities. The 53.37% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially despite decent starting salaries. For students seeking affordable entry into technical fields or nursing, this represents a strong return on investment with minimal debt burden.
