Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start close to home — with a median debt of just $5,973 at graduation, students here leave with far less financial burden than at most schools. That said, the numbers tell a mixed story: median earnings of $32,100 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about whether your intended career field aligns with what graduates here typically pursue. Best suited for students seeking a low-cost entry point into higher education or a stepping stone to a four-year transfer, rather than an immediate high-earning career path.
