Overview

About 27% of students graduate from Colorado Mountain College, reflecting the challenges in completing degrees at this school. However, for those who do finish, the average earnings ten years after graduation sit at $44,127. This statistic highlights the potential for upward mobility, especially for students willing to engage with the programs offered.

While specific mobility data isn’t available, the school’s focus on practical programs like Health Professions and Business can lead to meaningful career paths. Students from lower-income backgrounds may find opportunities through these vocational programs, even with a Pell Grant rate sitting at 12%. However, the lack of detailed economic connectedness metrics limits understanding of overall outcomes for diverse students.

Affordability is a strong point here, with a net price of $7,813 and median debt at just $9,000. This makes Colorado Mountain College an accessible option for students seeking to minimize debt while pursuing education. The environment is likely to suit those looking for a hands-on approach to learning, especially in technical and health-related fields.
