Cost Overview

Most families pay between $8,070 and $14,525 annually depending on income, well below the $6,146 sticker price once you factor in living costs. Students from families earning under $30,000 get the best financial break at just over $8,000 per year. Over two years, total costs range from about $16,000 to $29,000. This community and technical college keeps debt manageable with graduates owing a median of $12,000.

Monthly loan payments average $127, which represents less than 4% of typical graduate earnings of $45,068 ten years out. The 94% employment rate means most students land jobs quickly after finishing their programs. Only 23% of students take federal loans, suggesting many pay as they go or rely on other funding. Low-income students and those staying in-state for technical training get the strongest value proposition here.
