Outcomes Overview
North Central Texas College graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $11,250 represents just 25% of first-year median earnings of $40,516. Monthly loan payments of $119 consume about 3.5% of typical graduate income. The 92.2% employment rate reflects strong local demand for skilled workers in agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors that dominate north central Texas. Ten years out, median earnings reach $45,809, though the 40.7% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with payments despite modest debt levels. The college's focus on workforce training programs aligns well with regional employer needs. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for community college students.
