Outcomes Overview
SLCC graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, carrying a median of $8,003 compared to national community college averages near $10,000. Monthly loan payments of $85 represent just 2.6% of typical graduate earnings of $39,023 in the first year after completion. The 91.9% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Utah's growing tech and healthcare sectors. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter skilled trades where the college has established partnerships. The debt-to-income ratio of 17% falls well below problematic thresholds of 20% or higher. With low borrowing costs and solid earning potential in Utah's robust economy, SLCC delivers a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
