Worth considering if you're looking to minimize debt while building toward a career — graduates leave with just $5,500 in median debt, which is impressively low. The tradeoff is that median earnings sit at $35,200 a decade out, so this school makes the most sense as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer or a targeted two-year program in a field with clear local hiring, rather than a path to high-wage work on its own. At roughly $10,228 per year after aid, the value is real, but go in with a specific plan.
