Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $38,673 after six years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 25% with typical debt loads of $9,500. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent about 3% of gross income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.4% employment rate reflects strong demand for medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, and radiologic technologists in El Paso's growing healthcare sector. Nearly half of borrowers successfully repay their loans within the standard timeframe. While starting salaries around $33,913 seem modest, healthcare careers offer stability and growth potential that many four-year programs cannot match. For students seeking direct entry into healthcare professions, this represents a strong return on investment.
