Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce — with an average net price of just $13,846/year and median debt at graduation of only $9,500, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $39,600 a decade after enrollment are modest, so think carefully about which program you pursue and whether it aligns with a clear career goal. This is a solid stepping stone for students who plan to transfer to a four-year school or enter a specific trade, but it's less compelling as a standalone credential without a deliberate plan.
