Arkansas State University Mid-South Outcomes

Arkansas State Mid-South graduates earn a median of $31,857 six years after finishing, which puts monthly loan payments at about 8% of income for typical borrowers. The 85% employment rate shows most students find work, though many graduates enter healthcare support roles, manufacturing, and logistics jobs common in the Memphis metro area. With in-state costs under $4,000 annually, the debt burden stays manageable even on modest salaries. The mean earnings of $22,200 after six years suggests some graduates work part-time or in entry-level positions, but the low cost of attendance means students aren't drowning in debt. This represents an average return on investment for a two-year program.
