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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies/Technicians (47.06) | Undergraduate certificate | $41,342 n=2865 | $53,270 | $12,691 |
| Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies/Technicians (47.06) | Associate degree | $48,352 n=182 | $59,401 | $14,550 |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $44,170 n=1577 | $56,267 | $9,499 |
