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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (46.02) | Undergraduate certificate | $26,938 n=25 | $25,275 | n/a |

| Plumbing and Related Water Supply Services (46.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $68,478 n=25 | $89,025 | n/a |
