Outcomes Overview
Pitt Community College graduates earn a median of $37,259 ten years after graduation, resulting in a debt-to-income ratio of 32%. Monthly loan payments of $127 consume about 4% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's focus on health sciences, business, and technical programs aligns with eastern North Carolina's healthcare and manufacturing sectors. With 92.7% of graduates employed and relatively low debt burdens, the financial picture looks manageable. However, the 28% six-year completion rate means many students don't finish their programs. For those who do graduate, Pitt Community College offers a solid return on investment, particularly given the affordable $1,972 in-state tuition.
