Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $34,924 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 30% with typical debt loads of $10,315. Monthly loan payments of $109 consume about 3.7% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.2% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Arkansas's manufacturing, healthcare support, and skilled trades sectors. Nearly half of graduates complete their programs within six years, though many transfer to four-year institutions or enter the workforce earlier. With in-state tuition under $3,600 and modest debt burdens, this represents a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable workforce preparation or transfer pathways.
