Outcomes Overview
Academy College graduates enter the workforce immediately with a 100% employment rate, though their financial picture tells a more complex story. The typical graduate earns $43,656 in their first year while carrying $29,500 in debt, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 68%. Monthly loan payments of $313 consume about 8.6% of gross income, which exceeds the recommended 10% threshold for manageable debt. Earnings do climb to $60,001 by year five, suggesting career growth in the technology and healthcare fields where most graduates land jobs. However, only 41% of borrowers are successfully repaying their loans. Despite the guaranteed employment, the high debt burden relative to starting salaries represents a weak return on investment.
