Analysis

This Miller-Motte program delivers concerning results that should give you pause. Graduates earn just $22,869 one year after completion—significantly below both the national median of $27,186 and Pennsylvania's median of $26,990 for similar programs. More troubling, earnings show zero growth over four years, suggesting limited career advancement potential. While the debt load of $16,500 isn't catastrophic, it's still above national and state medians, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.72 that will require careful budgeting.

The program ranks in just the 13th percentile nationally and 25th percentile within Pennsylvania, meaning roughly 75-87% of comparable programs produce better outcomes. Several Pennsylvania alternatives offer substantially higher earnings—Montgomery County Community College graduates earn nearly $16,000 more annually, while even nearby Lincoln Technical Institute-Allentown graduates earn about $8,000 more. Given that 53% of students here receive Pell grants, many families are likely seeking affordable pathways to stable employment, but this program underdelivers on the earnings front.

Consider community college alternatives or other technical schools in Pennsylvania that demonstrate stronger earning potential. The robust sample size makes these results reliable, so this isn't a data fluke—it's a pattern you should take seriously when evaluating your investment options.
