Outcomes Overview
Cleveland University-Kansas City graduates enter healthcare fields where the median debt of $12,500 creates minimal financial burden. Monthly loan payments of $133 represent just 3% of typical graduate income of $52,304. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.24 sits well below the national average of 1.0 for college graduates. Most students become chiropractors, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals in markets with strong demand. The 85.7% employment rate reflects the practical nature of health sciences training. Healthcare careers typically offer job security and growth potential that justify the investment. Despite the concerning 33% graduation rate, graduates who complete their programs enjoy strong career prospects and manageable debt loads, making this a strong return on investment for those who finish.
