Outcomes Overview
Beal graduates face modest financial returns with median earnings of $35,639 ten years after graduation. Monthly loan payments of $207 consume about 7% of typical graduate income, which is manageable but not ideal. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.55 suggests reasonable borrowing levels. However, only 34% of borrowers are successfully repaying their loans. The 97% employment rate shows strong job placement, likely reflecting the school's focus on in-demand healthcare and business fields in Maine's economy. Healthcare program graduates typically find steady work in Maine's aging population centers. Despite high employment rates, the combination of below-average earnings and moderate debt levels creates an average return on investment for most students.
