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 | $36,263 n=398 | $46,893 | $13,668 |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $39,883 n=685 | $50,264 | $11,688 |
| Ground Transportation (49.02) | Undergraduate certificate | $48,327 n=1097 | $55,723 | $9,500 |
