Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $24,900 ten years after leaving Valley College-Cleveland, which creates a challenging debt-to-earnings ratio of 38% when paired with the typical $9,500 in student loans. Monthly payments of $101 consume about 5% of graduates' income, which is manageable but leaves little room for other expenses. The 90.4% employment rate shows students do find work, but the low loan repayment rate of 26% suggests many struggle to pay down their debt. Most graduates enter healthcare support roles like medical assistants or pharmacy technicians, fields where salaries remain relatively flat. Given the high costs relative to earning potential, this represents a weak return on investment for most students.
