Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying close to home — at just $7,005 per year in net costs and only $5,500 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths through higher education you'll find. That said, the 35% graduation rate is a real concern and worth taking seriously, as it suggests many students don't finish — so go in with a clear plan and strong support system. The $33,700 median earnings at 10 years out is modest, making this a better fit for students pursuing a specific local career path or planning to transfer than for those expecting a big income jump from the degree alone.
