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)	Undergraduate certificate	n/a	$44,440	n/a

School-wide College Scorecard measures (all programs, and all campuses that share the federal aid ID):

Completion rate within 150% of normal time (first-time, full-time students, all programs): 41%
Median earnings 10 years after entering, all students and programs: $44,329
Median federal debt of completers, all programs: $7,875
