Outcomes Overview
York County graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $8,861, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of about 20% based on their $44,873 median salary after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $94 consume roughly 2.7% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong ties to Maine's healthcare, hospitality, and skilled trades sectors help explain the solid 91.3% employment rate. Many graduates find work in coastal Maine's tourism industry or transfer to four-year universities. With relatively low debt burdens and steady earning potential in a state where the median household income hovers around $59,000, York County delivers a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable workforce training.
