Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start to your education — at just $5,216/year net price and a median graduation debt of only $6,000, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $32,400 a decade out are modest, so this makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a specific local career path rather than a standalone credential for higher-earning fields. With only 508 students, you'll get a small-campus experience in a remote Upper Peninsula setting, which suits some learners and may feel isolating for others.
