Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $23,016 one year after completing the program. With median debt of $5,500, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 24%, well below the federal benchmark of 30%. Monthly loan payments of $58 consume only 3% of typical graduate income, making repayment manageable. The 89.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for trained film technicians in Nashville's thriving entertainment scene. Many graduates find work as camera operators, sound engineers, and production assistants in the city's robust music video and commercial production industry. Others leverage Nashville's growing film tax incentive program to work on television and feature projects. This represents a strong return on investment for specialized technical training.
