Outcomes Overview
Springfield Tech graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of just $6,570, creating a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.18 against their $36,966 median income. Monthly loan payments of $70 represent only 2.3% of typical graduate earnings, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's 91.2% employment rate reflects strong demand for graduates trained in manufacturing, healthcare technology, and skilled trades. These technical fields offer stable career paths in western Massachusetts's recovering industrial economy. While the 27% six-year graduation rate seems low, completers find solid middle-class careers without crushing debt burdens. Springfield Tech delivers a strong return on investment for students who finish their programs.
