Outcomes Overview
Belmont graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt burdens. The median debt of $8,747 represents just 25% of typical first-year earnings of $35,329. Monthly loan payments of $93 consume only 3% of gross income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.4% employment rate reflects strong regional demand for the college's healthcare, business, and trades programs. Most graduates find work in eastern Ohio's energy sector, healthcare facilities, and local businesses. The low 31.81% loan repayment rate suggests some financial struggles, but the debt-to-income ratio remains favorable. For students seeking practical skills training without crushing debt, Belmont offers a strong return on investment.
