Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $33,070 ten years after completing their programs. With median debt of $9,500, the debt-to-earnings ratio sits at a manageable 29%, well below the federal benchmark of 40%. Monthly loan payments of $101 represent about 3.7% of median income, making repayment feasible for most graduates. The 93.5% employment rate reflects strong demand for health care workers in the Rio Grande Valley. However, the 32% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite modest debt loads. Most enter fields like medical assisting, nursing support, and diagnostic imaging where jobs are plentiful but wages remain modest. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused health care training.
