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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electrical and Power Transmission Installers (46.03) | Undergraduate certificate | $39,728 n=16 | n/a | n/a |
| Heavy/Industrial Equipment Maintenance Technologies/Technicians (47.03) | Undergraduate certificate | $65,561 n=41 | $66,375 | n/a |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $42,896 n=27 | $46,344 | 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): 83%
- Median earnings 10 years after entering, all students and programs: $42,375
