Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce — at just $3,719/year after aid and a median debt of only $8,250, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $29,800 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates aren't landing high-paying careers, so this school makes the most sense for students pursuing specific technical or trades programs with clear local job demand, not those chasing a big salary bump.
