Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $33,706 ten years after starting, which creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio since most leave with just $10,250 in loans. Monthly payments of $109 represent about 3.9% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 98.3% employment rate shows strong job placement, though earnings reflect the reality of associate degree careers in rural Arkansas. Most graduates enter healthcare support, manufacturing, or business roles that value hands-on training over four-year degrees. With low debt and solid employment prospects in a lower cost-of-living area, this represents a strong return on investment for students seeking practical skills and quick workforce entry.
