Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $28,951 after six years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 26% with typical debt of $7,446. Monthly loan payments of $79 represent only 3.3% of monthly income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 91.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare support, manufacturing, and skilled trades that anchor West Virginia's economy. Many graduates enter roles as medical assistants, welders, and automotive technicians where associate degrees provide direct pathways to middle-class careers. While earnings lag behind four-year degree holders, the combination of low debt, affordable payments, and high employment rates creates a strong return on investment for students seeking practical workforce training.
