Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $37,537 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt of $10,658. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.28 beats most four-year colleges. Monthly loan payments of $113 consume just 3.6% of median income. The 94.8% employment rate reflects strong local job placement in healthcare, manufacturing, and skilled trades. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter Missouri's growing logistics sector around Interstate 70. The 38.6% loan repayment rate lags national community college averages, suggesting some graduates struggle financially. Students from families earning under $30,000 pay a net price of just $5,708. Despite modest earnings potential, the low debt burden and high employment rate create a strong return on investment.
