Outcomes Overview
Skyline College graduates enter the workforce with minimal debt burden, as only 0.40% take federal loans. The median earnings of $55,702 within ten years represent solid middle-class income potential in the Bay Area. Community college graduates here typically transition into healthcare support roles, business operations, and skilled trades. The 91.5% employment rate reflects strong job placement in San Mateo County's robust economy. With no student debt and decent earning potential, monthly loan payments are negligible for most graduates. The negative average net price of $-1,180 means students actually receive more aid than tuition costs. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused education.
