Outcomes Overview
National Polytechnic College graduates enter a challenging financial landscape with median debt of $16,098 against median earnings of $30,781 ten years out. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 52%, well above the recommended 30% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $171 consume about 7% of typical graduate income. The college focuses on healthcare and technical training programs that traditionally lead to stable employment. The 92.1% employment rate reflects strong job placement in these fields. However, the low 26.87% loan repayment rate signals financial strain among alumni. Despite solid employment outcomes, the combination of high costs and modest earnings creates a weak return on investment for most students.
