The numbers tell a mixed story here: a 39% graduation rate is well below average, meaning most students who start don't finish, which is a serious concern worth pressing the school on before enrolling. On the upside, median debt at graduation is a relatively low $12,000, and graduates who do make it through earn around $57,700 a decade out — a decent return if you complete the degree. This is worth considering if you're specifically drawn to tech and gaming programs and have a clear plan to stay enrolled, but go in with eyes open about the attrition risk.
