Outcomes Overview
Graduates typically enter Louisiana's energy, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors with median earnings of $32,503 within ten years. The 88.4% employment rate reflects strong regional demand for skilled technicians. With an average net price of $9,847 and no federal loan debt reported, graduates face minimal financial burden after completing programs. Monthly loan payments would represent roughly 15% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 20% threshold. The college's focus on workforce training aligns with local industrial needs, particularly in oil and gas support services. While earnings lag behind four-year degree holders, the combination of low debt, high employment rates, and quick entry into stable careers creates a strong return on investment for students seeking technical skills.
