Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $29,073 after ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 25% with typical debt loads of $7,250. Monthly loan payments of $77 consume only 3.2% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 90.1% employment rate reflects strong demand for technical skills in West Virginia's energy and healthcare sectors. Many graduates enter welding, nursing assistance, and automotive repair fields where two-year credentials provide direct pathways to stable work. With net costs averaging $3,494 and relatively modest debt burdens, the college delivers solid value despite lower absolute earnings typical of rural Appalachian markets. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused training.
