Outcomes Overview
With a median debt of just $7,000 and median earnings reaching $42,175 within 10 years, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of only 17%. Monthly loan payments of $74 represent less than 3% of typical graduate income. The 96.8% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled technicians in Kansas's agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Graduates typically enter fields like automotive technology, welding, and healthcare support where hands-on training translates directly to job opportunities. The loan repayment rate of 57.47% suggests some graduates struggle initially, but low debt levels keep payments manageable. For students seeking practical skills without massive debt, this represents a strong return on investment.
