Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable starting point — at just $8,098 in median debt at graduation, students here leave with far less financial burden than at most schools. The concern is the earnings picture: $35,500 in median income a decade out is modest, so think carefully about which program you're choosing and whether it connects to a clear career path. Best suited for students who plan to transfer to a four-year school or who have a specific, in-demand trade or technical goal in mind.
