Outcomes Overview
Neosho County graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $8,500, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 18.5% based on median earnings of $45,966 ten years post-graduation. Monthly loan payments of $90 represent just 2.3% of typical monthly income. The 95.8% employment rate reflects the college's focus on career-ready programs and local workforce needs in southeastern Kansas. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter fields like healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture that are prominent in rural Kansas. With relatively low debt and strong employment outcomes, this represents a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable career training or university transfer preparation.
