Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable way to start your college career — at just $9,774 per year after aid and a median debt of only $7,329 at graduation, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $34,800 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a launching pad to a four-year transfer or a specific vocational credential rather than a standalone credential for high-earning careers.
