Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable entry point into higher education — at just $8,815/year net price and median debt of only $8,303, the financial risk here is genuinely low. That said, the median earnings of $36,200 a decade out suggest graduates tend to land in modest-paying fields, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it aligns with career paths that pay competitively in your region.
