University of South Carolina-Sumter Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $42,437 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt loads of $9,250. Monthly loan payments of $98 represent just 2.8% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 89.8% employment rate shows strong job market outcomes for associate degree holders. Most graduates transfer to four-year universities within the USC system or enter local healthcare, business, and technical fields where two-year credentials provide solid entry points. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.22 compares favorably to national community college averages. Low borrowing costs combined with respectable earnings create a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable pathways to bachelor's degrees or immediate workforce entry.
