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 | $37,357 n=16 | n/a | n/a |
| Electrical and Power Transmission Installers (46.03) | Undergraduate certificate | $49,815 n=23 | n/a | n/a |
| Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies/Technicians (47.06) | Undergraduate certificate | $42,872 n=77 | $51,666 | $8,173 |
