Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable start — graduates carry just $5,295 in median debt, which is impressively low. The trade-off is that median earnings 10 years out sit at $31,900, so this school makes the most sense for students pursuing careers with local demand or planning to transfer, not those expecting a big salary bump from the credential alone. The tiny enrollment of 357 students means a close-knit environment, but also limited program variety, so confirm your specific field of interest is well-supported before committing.
