Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and start your career without a heavy debt burden — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is genuinely low. The $10,388 annual net price makes this one of the more affordable options around, especially for students in the region. That said, median earnings of $36,100 a decade out are modest, so this works best as a stepping stone — either to a four-year school or a specific local career path where you've already done your homework on job prospects.
