Outcomes Overview
Daley College graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, typically owing just $4,500 upon completion. Monthly loan payments of $48 represent only 1.5% of typical first-year earnings of $32,584. The employment rate of 87.8% reflects strong job placement in Chicago's service, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors. Earnings grow steadily, reaching $37,962 after ten years. This debt-to-income ratio of 12% sits well below the problematic 20% threshold that financial experts warn against. The low federal loan rate of 0.21% indicates most students pay as they go or rely on grants. For students seeking practical skills and immediate employment in Chicago's job market, Daley College delivers a strong return on investment.
