Outcomes Overview
Graduates typically enter healthcare roles like medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and respiratory therapists. The median debt of $9,500 creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 25% based on typical first-year earnings of $33,913. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent only 3.6% of gross monthly income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in the San Diego area. However, the 46.26% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with payments despite low debt levels. Five-year earnings of $39,823 show modest income growth in these mid-level healthcare positions. Overall, this represents an average return on investment with low debt but limited earning potential.
