Outcomes Overview
Southern California Institute of Technology graduates earn a median of $53,598 within ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 20% based on typical debt of $10,798. Monthly loan payments of $114 consume only 2.6% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's 93.3% employment rate reflects strong job placement in technical fields where hands-on training matters more than prestige. With nearly 95% male enrollment, graduates typically enter manufacturing, automotive technology, and industrial maintenance roles that value practical skills. The combination of relatively low debt, solid earnings, and high employment rates delivers a strong return on investment for students seeking technical careers.
