Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $38,349 ten years after leaving, while carrying just $10,000 in debt. Monthly loan payments of $106 consume only 3.3% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 87.2% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Hampton Roads' diverse economy. Many Storm alumni enter healthcare support, skilled trades, and business fields that value associate degrees and professional certificates. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.26 beats most four-year institutions . Low borrowing costs help since only 9.11% of students take federal loans. While the 30.10% six-year completion rate raises concerns about student success, those who finish enjoy strong financial returns on investment.
