Weigh this carefully before borrowing

For 2-year colleges this undercounts students who transfer to a 4-year school before finishing here.

Average annual price after grants & scholarships.

What former students go on to earn

The middle 50% of students who received federal aid, measured 10 years after they entered (an earlier entering class — not a guarantee, and not limited to those who graduated). Earnings vary enormously by field of study.

$34,799 median, 10 yrs after entry
25th pct $15,114 median $34,799 75th pct $60,090
Typical federal loan debt
$7,405
21% of one year's typical earnings here

This counts federal student loans only — not private loans, Parent PLUS loans, or family savings, so the true cost of borrowing is usually higher.

What these numbers are — and are not

Every figure here is an institution-wide median from the U.S. Dept. of Education College Scorecard. It is not a prediction of what you would earn or owe — a computer-science and a fine-arts graduate of the same school can earn wildly different amounts, and your field of study matters more than your school. It is not a figure for any one program, not proof the school caused the outcome (selective schools admit students who would earn more anyway), and not a "best college" ranking. Earnings and debt cover federally-aided students.

→ The number that actually answers "worth it" is earnings by major . See Palladium Technical Academy Inc by field of study on the official Scorecard (this school's programs are below the Dept. of Education's reporting threshold here).
