Outcomes Overview
Graduates typically earn $40,752 ten years after leaving, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 21% with median debt of $8,750. Monthly loan payments of $93 represent only 2.7% of typical graduate income. The 88.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare, trades, and business sectors that anchor central Virginia's economy. Many graduates transfer to University of Virginia or Virginia Tech to complete bachelor's degrees, while others enter the workforce directly through the college's partnerships with local employers. The 40.61% loan repayment rate indicates some financial stress among borrowers. However, the combination of low debt loads and solid earning potential creates a strong return on investment for most students.
