Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low and get into the workforce quickly — at just $4,842 per year after aid and a median debt of only $8,457 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths available. That said, the median earnings of $27,300 ten years out are modest, so this college makes the most sense as a launchpad for specific career programs or as a stepping stone to a four-year transfer, rather than a destination for maximizing long-term earning potential.
