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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heavy/Industrial Equipment Maintenance Technologies/Technicians (47.03) | Associate degree | $57,585 n=29 | n/a | n/a |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $31,784 n=24 | $54,613 | n/a |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Associate degree | $43,386 n=16 | n/a | n/a |

- Completion rate within 150% of normal time (first-time, full-time students, all programs): 31%
