The numbers tell a mixed story here: graduates earn a median of $22,400 a year a decade out, which barely clears the average net price of $21,159 per year in attendance costs, leaving little financial breathing room. The relatively low median debt of $9,122 at graduation is a genuine bright spot, suggesting the school doesn't leave students buried in loans. Worth considering only if you're pursuing a specific vocational credential with a clear local job market — but do your homework on employment outcomes in your exact program before committing.
