Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $37,870 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 29% based on the typical $10,946 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $116 consume roughly 3.7% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college serves as a stepping stone for students transferring to four-year universities or entering local healthcare, manufacturing, and skilled trades. With 95% of students coming from Texas, most graduates stay in the region where living costs remain manageable. The employment rate reaches 92.4%, reflecting strong job placement in East Texas. Despite the modest 32.5% six-year completion rate, Northeast Texas delivers a strong return on investment for students who finish their programs.
