Students drawn to career-focused training in a small, hands-on environment may find this school appealing, but the financial picture here deserves serious scrutiny before you commit. At $31,032 per year in net costs, you're paying a premium for a school where graduates earn a median of just $25,000 ten years out — that's a tough return on investment that will make loan repayment genuinely difficult, even with the relatively modest median debt of $14,750. The 68% graduation rate is better than many for-profit schools, which is worth acknowledging, but it doesn't offset the earnings concern. My honest advice: before enrolling, sit down and map out your monthly budget on a $25,000 salary, then ask the admissions office to show you employment data specific to your program — if they can't produce it, that tells you something important. Community college or a regional public institution would likely get you to the same career outcomes at a fraction of the cost.
