Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable entry point into higher education — median debt at graduation is just $6,250, which is remarkably low and leaves you with real financial flexibility. That said, median earnings of $35,500 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about your intended career path and whether a four-year transfer plan is part of the picture. This works best as a cost-conscious stepping stone, not necessarily a final destination.
