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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy Systems Technologies/Technicians (15.17) | Associate degree | $50,883 n=50 | $66,007 | $17,260 |
| Electrical and Power Transmission Installers (46.03) | Undergraduate certificate | $43,044 n=125 | n/a | $9,235 |
