Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $36,676 ten years after starting, while carrying just $9,000 in debt. Monthly loan payments of $95 consume only 3.1% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 90.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the region's timber, healthcare, and trades sectors. Many students use UCC as a stepping stone to four-year universities or enter local industries that value hands-on training. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.25 ranks among the lowest for community colleges nationwide. With affordable tuition creating minimal debt burden and solid regional employment prospects, this represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
