Worth considering if you're looking for a focused, lower-cost trade or career program — graduates carry a relatively modest median debt of $9,500, which is a real advantage. However, median earnings of $40,800 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about whether the specific program aligns with your career goals and local job market. The small enrollment of 140 students means a tight-knit environment, but also limited program variety, so confirm your field of interest is well-represented before committing.
