The numbers tell a mixed story here — the $10,376 average net price is genuinely affordable, and debt at graduation is a manageable $12,672, which is well below the national average. However, a 57% graduation rate means nearly half of students who start don't finish, and median earnings of $34,700 a decade out suggest limited long-term financial lift from the degree. Worth considering if cost is your primary constraint and you have a specific career program in mind, but look closely at outcomes for your particular field before committing.
