Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path to a credential or transfer opportunity — at just $8,652/year in net cost and a low median debt of $6,250, the financial risk here is genuinely manageable. That said, the median earnings of $35,100 a decade out are modest, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it leads to a clear job or a four-year transfer. This school makes the most sense as a strategic, low-cost first step rather than a final destination.
