Outcomes Overview
Graduates typically earn $43,411 ten years after leaving campus, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 62% with median debt at $27,000. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 8% of graduates' income, which is manageable but reflects the challenge of a liberal arts degree from a small college. The 97.7% employment rate shows strong job placement. Many graduates find work in education, outdoor recreation, and environmental fields that align with the college's mountain setting and program strengths. However, the relatively modest earnings compared to the total cost of attendance suggest a weak return on investment for most students.
