Outcomes Overview
Beacon College graduates face significant financial challenges after leaving campus. With median debt of $25,000 and median earnings of $29,420 ten years out, graduates carry a debt-to-income ratio of 85%. Monthly loan payments of $265 consume roughly 11% of typical graduate income, well above the recommended 10% threshold. The employment rate of 84% shows most graduates find work, but the loan repayment rate of just 48.72% indicates many struggle to make progress on their debt. Graduates often enter fields like social services, education support, and nonprofit work that align with their learning differences advocacy but offer modest pay. Given the high costs and below-average earnings outcomes, this represents a weak return on investment.
