Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $33,070 ten years after starting, while carrying $9,500 in debt. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 29%, well below the concerning 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $101 consume about 4% of typical graduate income. The 93.5% employment rate reflects strong demand for healthcare workers in Houston's massive medical center. Most graduates enter roles as medical assistants, pharmacy technicians, or LVNs in hospitals and clinics. However, the 32% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments despite relatively low debt loads. The modest earnings potential typical of entry-level healthcare support roles limits long-term financial growth. This represents an average return on investment.
