Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn $32,742 ten years after leaving, while the average net price sits at $7,697. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of roughly 24%. Monthly loan payments would consume about 2-3% of typical graduate income. The 93.1% employment rate reflects strong regional job placement in healthcare, manufacturing, and skilled trades that anchor rural North Carolina's economy. Many students transfer to four-year universities after completing core requirements at lower costs. The college's career-focused programs align well with local employer needs in Montgomery County and surrounding areas. For students seeking affordable career training or transfer preparation, this represents a strong return on investment.
