At just $5,741 per year after aid and a median debt of only $5,500 at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree or credential you'll find. The 32% graduation rate is worth paying attention to — most students who start here don't finish, so you'll want to be honest with yourself about your support system and commitment before enrolling. If you complete your program, the median earnings of $32,100 a decade out are modest, making this a better fit for career-focused certificates and transfer pathways than for students expecting a big salary bump.
