What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Veterinary/Animal Health Technologies/Technicians at California Healing Arts College

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for California Healing Arts College and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Veterinary/Animal Health Technologies/Technicians at the certificate credential level. The FOS file is keyed by CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code, which means earnings and debt figures here reflect only graduates of this specific program – not the school as a whole. Completer counts for the most recent cohort are not currently reported for this program-school pairing.

Median graduate earnings of $32,854 represent Treasury-derived wages, deferred compensation, and positive self-employment earnings four years after program completion for federally aided completers who were working and not enrolled. Compared to the national mean of $34,366 across all institutions offering Veterinary/Animal Health Technologies/Technicians, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at California Healing Arts College, the mean median-earnings figure is $34,369, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. The median cumulative federal loan debt for Veterinary/Animal Health Technologies/Technicians graduates at California Healing Arts College is $9,500, which translates to roughly $79 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The descriptive debt-to-earnings ratio is 0.29: reported annual earnings exceed cumulative debt. This is a PlainCollege comparison, not a federal gainful-employment verdict. Program-level debt and four-year post-completion earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard field-of-study snapshot retrieved in March 2026.
