The numbers tell a mixed story here: at roughly $8,829/year after aid and only $9,280 in median debt at graduation, the cost is genuinely manageable and one of the stronger arguments for attending. The concern is the $29,600 median earnings figure ten years out, which is low enough to make you think carefully about which program you're choosing — this school makes more sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or for career-specific credentials in fields with clear local hiring, rather than as a standalone path to financial mobility.
