Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $38,673 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 25% based on the typical $9,500 in loans. Monthly payments of $101 consume about 3% of gross income, which is manageable for most budgets. The 94.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for medical assistants, dental hygienists, and other healthcare support roles that Pima trains students for. However, less than half of borrowers are successfully repaying their loans at 46.26%. The healthcare job market in Colorado Springs provides steady opportunities, but earnings growth appears limited given similar pay at five and ten years post-graduation. This represents an average return on investment for students seeking quick entry into healthcare careers.
