This is a strong option for students watching their budget — at just $5,300/year net price and a median debt of only $6,500 at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $37,500 a decade out suggest this works best as a stepping stone to a four-year degree or a specific trade, not a terminal credential for high-wage careers. Worth considering if you want an affordable, low-debt start — just have a clear plan for what comes next.
