Worth considering if you want a focused trade or business program with surprisingly manageable debt — graduates typically leave owing just $6,200, which is well below the national average. The small enrollment of 161 students suggests a tight-knit, hands-on environment rather than a large anonymous campus. That said, median earnings of $46,100 a decade out are modest, so make sure the specific program aligns with a career path where you can realistically grow beyond that starting point.
