Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $31,349 within ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 42% with typical debt of $13,271. Monthly loan payments of $141 consume about 5.4% of graduates' income, which is manageable compared to the national average of 10%. The college focuses on healthcare, business, and technology careers where demand remains steady in Louisiana. However, the 25.9% loan repayment rate signals financial struggles for many alumni. While 91.8% find employment after graduation, the relatively low earnings compared to tuition costs create challenges. The significant Pell Grant population (90.91%) suggests students from lower-income backgrounds may struggle with affordability. This represents a weak return on investment despite strong job placement rates.
