Outcomes
College Scorecard field-of-study results for graduates who received federal aid. Fields are the broader 4-digit program family, so welding and machining share "Precision Metal Working". Earnings are medians for graduates working and not enrolled; cohorts lag several years. Scorecard reports outcomes under the school's federal aid ID, which can combine several branch campuses, so counts can exceed this campus's own graduates.
| Field | Credential | Median pay, 1 yr | Median pay, 5 yrs | Median federal debt |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical and Power Transmission Installers (46.03) | Undergraduate certificate | n/a | n/a | $8,710 |
| Building/Construction Finishing, Management, and Inspection (46.04) | Undergraduate certificate | $35,524 n=243 | $40,237 | $9,500 |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $40,502 n=205 | $48,751 | $8,305 |

- Median earnings 10 years after entering, all students and programs: $39,846
