Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $36,738 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt of $12,000. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 33%, well below the federal benchmark of 40%.

Many graduates transfer to four-year programs or enter family agricultural operations. Low-income students pay just $3,779 net price, making this an accessible pathway to middle-class careers. The combination of modest debt, solid employment outcomes, and affordable access delivers a strong return on investment.
