Outcomes Overview
Platt College-Riverside graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $18,685, which creates monthly payments of $198. With median earnings of $40,669 ten years after graduation, this debt represents about 46% of annual income, while monthly payments take up roughly 5.8% of gross monthly earnings. The 92.2% employment rate shows strong job placement, typical for career-focused programs in nursing and medical assisting where employers actively recruit. However, the 34.20% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle to pay down their loans despite finding work. The debt-to-income ratio sits near national averages for career colleges, but the low repayment rate indicates graduates may be underemployed relative to their debt load. This represents an average return on investment.
