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.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical and Power Transmission Installers (46.03) | Associate degree | $60,666 n=27 | n/a | $7,750 |
