Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $34,407 after ten years, which translates to roughly $2,867 monthly before taxes. With 6.9% taking federal loans and low tuition costs, typical debt loads remain manageable for most students. Monthly loan payments would consume about 8-12% of gross income for average borrowers, well below the recommended 10-15% threshold. The college's focus on practical trades and healthcare programs aligns graduates with Maine's job market in fields like nursing assistance, welding, and marine technology. However, the 41% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially. Nearly 98% of students stay in-state after completing programs. The combination of low debt and immediate employment opportunities creates a strong return on investment for motivated students entering skilled trades.
