Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — at just $7,636/year average net price and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, graduates tend to earn around $37,500 a decade after enrolling, which is modest, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone toward a four-year degree rather than a terminal credential.
