The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $8,420/year after aid and only $4,500 in median debt at graduation, this is one of the most affordable paths to a certificate or associate degree you'll find anywhere. However, the 33% graduation rate and 50% freshman retention rate are real concerns — only half of first-year students come back for a second year, so you'll want to ask yourself honestly what support systems you'll need to stay on track. If you're pursuing a specific trade, certification, or a local career in the Rock Springs area and can commit to finishing, the low cost makes it worth a serious look.
