Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $44,792 ten years after starting, while carrying typical debt of $18,450. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 41%, well below problematic levels. Monthly loan payments of $196 represent just 5.3% of median income, making repayment feasible for most graduates. The 92.5% employment rate demonstrates strong job market outcomes. Many graduates enter healthcare support roles, skilled trades, or business services that value associate-level credentials in the Albuquerque metro area. However, the 47.7% loan repayment rate suggests some students struggle financially after leaving. The low federal loan rate of 1.46% indicates most students avoid debt entirely. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for students who complete their programs.
