Outcomes Overview
Graduates enter healthcare fields with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $5,500 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 18% against first-year earnings of $30,953. Monthly loan payments of $58 consume only 2.2% of typical graduate income. The 94.2% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in Montana and surrounding regions. Most graduates become medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, or veterinary assistants in clinics and hospitals. The low loan repayment rate of 33.8% suggests some graduates struggle despite high employment. However, earnings grow to $34,214 by year five, improving financial stability over time. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused healthcare training.
