Outcomes Overview
South Hills graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $16,000, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.45 compared to their $35,539 median salary after 10 years. Monthly loan payments of $170 consume about 5.8% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's career-focused programs in business and technology typically lead to steady employment in accounting, medical administration, and IT support roles. With a 96.1% employment rate, graduates find work quickly in Pennsylvania's growing healthcare and business sectors. However, the relatively modest earnings ceiling reflects the technical nature of most positions. This represents an average return on investment for students seeking practical skills training.
