Outcomes Overview
East-West University graduates face significant financial headwinds after earning their degrees. With median debt of $26,986 and median earnings of just $29,963 ten years post-graduation, graduates carry debt equal to 90% of their annual income. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume nearly 12% of typical graduate earnings, well above the recommended 10% threshold. The employment rate of 91.8% shows graduates find work, but many struggle with low wages in entry-level positions across various sectors. The loan repayment rate of just 16.23% reflects these financial pressures. Despite serving a diverse student body with career-focused training, East-West delivers a weak return on investment for most students.
