Outcomes Overview
Bevill State graduates earn a median of $34,107 ten years after graduation, which reflects the practical nature of their career-focused programs. With in-state tuition at $4,678 and minimal borrowing (0% federal loan rate), most students graduate debt-free or with very low debt loads. The college's strong ties to Alabama's manufacturing and healthcare sectors help explain the solid 91.2% employment rate. Monthly loan payments for the few students who do borrow would consume less than 5% of typical graduate income. The combination of affordable education, job-ready training, and immediate employment opportunities in rural Alabama industries creates a strong return on investment for students seeking practical career preparation.
