Outcomes Overview
USC Lancaster graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt burdens, carrying a median of $9,616 compared to national community college averages around $17,000. Monthly loan payments of $102 represent just 3.1% of typical graduate earnings of $39,426 after ten years. The 93.9% employment rate reflects strong job placement in regional healthcare, manufacturing, and business sectors that value two-year credentials. However, the 29.5% six-year completion rate means many students never reach graduation. Those who do complete their programs benefit from accessible education costs and solid earning potential in Lancaster's growing economy. For students who finish their degrees, USC Lancaster delivers a strong return on investment.
