Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $44,960 after ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 17% with typical debt of $7,703. Monthly loan payments of $82 consume only 2.2% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 92.2% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Texas's agricultural and energy sectors where technical skills are valued. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter trades like welding, automotive repair, and agricultural management. The low cost structure keeps students from accumulating crushing debt while building marketable skills. This represents a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable career preparation or transfer pathways.
