Outcomes Overview

Northeastern Technical College graduates face modest financial prospects but find steady work. The employment rate hits 95.4% within six months of graduation. Median earnings reach $32,141 after ten years, reflecting the technical nature of most programs. With an average net price of $7,833 and no federal loan debt reported, graduates typically avoid the crushing debt loads common at four-year schools. Monthly payments on any private loans would consume roughly 15-20% of typical graduate income, well below the dangerous 30% threshold. The college specializes in healthcare support, automotive technology, and manufacturing trades that serve the rural Pee Dee region. While earnings lag behind four-year degree holders, the combination of high employment rates and minimal debt creates an average return on investment for students seeking practical career training.
