The numbers tell a mixed story here: the $8,904 median debt at graduation is refreshingly low compared to most schools, but median earnings of $29,600 a decade out raise a real question about long-term return on investment. Worth considering if you're looking for a focused, small-enrollment trade or business program in southwestern PA and want to avoid heavy debt — but push the admissions office hard on job placement rates in your specific field before committing. The 73% acceptance rate means getting in isn't the challenge; making sure the credential pays off is.
