Outcomes Overview
Davenport graduates earn a median of $45,099 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 58%. Monthly loan payments of $276 consume roughly 7% of typical graduate income. The university's career-focused approach in business and technology helps achieve a 95.9% employment rate. Many graduates enter healthcare administration, business management, and information technology roles where Davenport's practical training proves valuable. However, the 49.5% six-year graduation rate means many students accumulate debt without completing their degrees. While employed graduates find steady work in Michigan's economy, the combination of moderate earnings and significant debt creates an average return on investment for those who finish their programs.
