Outcomes Overview

Graduates earn a median of $50,513 ten years after leaving, with monthly loan payments averaging just $127. That translates to roughly 3% of gross monthly income going toward student debt. The $12,000 median debt load creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.24, well below the concerning 1.0 threshold. Students typically enter high-demand technical fields like agriculture technology, automotive repair, and healthcare support roles. The 97.5% employment rate reflects strong job market demand for skilled technicians. With affordable tuition keeping debt low and technical training leading to steady middle-class wages, this represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
