Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $43,348 ten years out, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 25% with typical debt loads of $10,825. Monthly loan payments of $115 consume just 3.2% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 95.2% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled technicians in Maine's forestry, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors. Many graduates find work maintaining wind turbines, operating heavy machinery, or providing medical support in rural communities where these skills are scarce. The low debt burden and solid job placement make this a strong return on investment for students seeking practical career training without the expense of a four-year degree.
