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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies/Technicians (47.06) | Undergraduate certificate | $40,489 n=18 | $54,276 | $5,450 |
| Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Technologies/Technicians (47.06) | Associate degree | $49,621 n=17 | $62,611 | n/a |
| Precision Metal Working (48.05) | Undergraduate certificate | $35,530 n=22 | $49,609 | n/a |
| Ground Transportation (49.02) | Undergraduate certificate | $41,830 n=26 | $44,316 | $6,345 |
