Outcomes Overview
Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $21,000, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.37 when compared to their $56,887 median earnings after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $223 represent only 5.5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's 97.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for agricultural technicians and farm managers in the region. Graduates typically find work in agribusiness, livestock operations, and agricultural equipment companies across the Great Plains. The loan repayment rate of 74.1% indicates most graduates can manage their debt successfully. This represents a strong return on investment for students seeking practical agricultural careers.
