Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $30,917 within 10 years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 18% based on the typical $5,500 debt load. Monthly loan payments of $58 represent about 2.3% of gross monthly income. The 94.2% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in New Mexico's growing medical sector. However, only 34% of borrowers are successfully repaying their loans, suggesting many graduates struggle with the financial transition. Most enter roles as medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and other allied health positions in hospitals and clinics. Despite the high job placement rate, the combination of modest earnings and concerning repayment rates indicates an average return on investment.
