Outcomes Overview
East Ohio College graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $12,000 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.41, meaning graduates owe less than half their first-year salary. Monthly loan payments of $127 consume about 5% of graduates' income based on median earnings of $29,342. The college serves primarily healthcare fields, particularly medical assisting and dental programs, which explains the 95.5% employment rate. However, the low loan repayment rate of 32.89% suggests many graduates struggle despite finding jobs. While debt levels stay reasonable and job placement runs high, the modest earning potential in healthcare support roles limits financial growth. This represents an average return on investment.
