Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce — at just $9,090/year net cost and a median graduation debt of only $6,334, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $34,400 a decade after enrollment are modest, so this school makes the most sense as a launching pad for a bachelor's degree transfer or a targeted vocational program rather than a standalone credential.
