Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable two-year stepping stone — at just $8,021/year net price and a median debt of only $6,206 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $36,400 a decade out suggest most students end up in modest-paying careers, so think carefully about whether your intended field of study leads to a four-year transfer or a clear local job market in northwest Kansas.
