Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median salary of $36,432 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 21%. Monthly loan payments of $80 consume roughly 2.6% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.8% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare support roles, business administration, and skilled trades that Chicago's economy demands. However, the 30.69% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle despite finding work. Career colleges typically prepare students for middle-skill positions that offer steady employment but limited advancement. Given the low debt burden and strong employment outcomes in a major metropolitan job market, this represents an average return on investment.
