About Burley, Idaho
Burley is a city in Cassia and Minidoka counties in southern Idaho, United States. The first human inhabitants of the area were Paleo Indians, who first settled the area 15 to 16,000 years ago. Later, the Northern Shoshone and Northern Paiute peoples established communities in the area. Agriculture and food processing play a critical role in the economy of Burley and the surrounding area. Burley is part of the broader Magic Valley region, known for its dairy and crop production. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Is it worth it?
A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.
- Median earnings (10 years)
- $19,120
- Typical debt at graduation
- $10,556
- Debt vs. one year's pay
- 55%
- Out-earn a HS grad
- —
Typical debt would take roughly 5.5 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.
A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.
Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.
