Outcomes Overview
Patrick & Henry graduates earn a median of $33,323 within ten years of completing their programs. The college produces zero student debt since the federal loan rate is 0.00%, giving graduates a significant financial advantage over peers at schools requiring loans. Monthly payments of zero mean graduates keep their entire paycheck rather than dedicating 10-15% to debt service like typical community college students. The 88.4% employment rate reflects strong job placement in regional healthcare, manufacturing, and skilled trades. Many graduates enter Virginia's growing logistics sector or transfer to four-year universities debt-free. With solid earnings, no debt burden, and high employment rates, Patrick & Henry delivers a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
