Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $27,035 after 10 years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 32%. Monthly loan payments of $92 consume about 4% of typical graduate income. The school's 90% employment rate shows strong job placement success. However, the 18% loan repayment rate signals financial strain for many alumni. Most graduates enter healthcare support roles, business administration, or technical services where starting salaries often fall below $30,000. The $23,458 average program cost exceeds what many entry-level positions can justify. While job prospects remain solid in Austin's growing economy, the financial mathematics present challenges. This represents a weak return on investment for most students.
