Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $36,156 ten years after leaving, while carrying $17,277 in typical debt. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 48% sits above the recommended 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $183 consume about 6% of gross income, which is manageable but not ideal. The 90.4% employment rate shows strong job placement. Only 29.35% of borrowers are successfully repaying loans, suggesting many struggle with payments. Technical college graduates typically enter skilled trades, healthcare support roles, and technical fields that value certifications over degrees. The 67.90% six-year graduation rate indicates many students take longer than expected to complete programs. For a technical college serving El Paso's Hispanic community, this represents an average return on investment.
