Outcomes Overview
TMCC graduates enter the workforce with modest debt loads that make financial sense. The median debt of $11,000 translates to monthly payments of $117, representing just 3.1% of typical graduate earnings of $44,573. This debt-to-income ratio sits well below the recommended 10% threshold for manageable student loans. The college's focus on career training shows in its 92.3% employment rate. Many graduates work in healthcare, skilled trades, and business support roles that are in high demand across northern Nevada. Others transfer to four-year universities after completing general education requirements at a fraction of the cost. With low debt and strong job placement, TMCC offers a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
