Worth considering if you're looking for an affordable path into the workforce or a stepping stone to a four-year school — at $12,851/year after aid and only $8,250 in median debt at graduation, the financial risk is genuinely low. That said, median earnings of $34,600 a decade after enrollment suggest graduates aren't landing high-paying careers, so think carefully about which program you choose and whether it connects to a clear next step.
