Outcomes Overview
East Georgia State College graduates face significant financial challenges in the job market. The median debt of $11,750 paired with median earnings of $37,174 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 32%. Monthly loan payments of $125 consume about 4% of graduates' income, which is manageable compared to the national average. However, only 24% of borrowers are successfully repaying their loans. The employment rate of 93% suggests graduates find work, but many likely transfer to complete bachelor's degrees at other University System of Georgia schools rather than entering the workforce immediately. Given the low graduation rates and modest earning potential, this represents a weak return on investment for students seeking immediate career entry.
