Outcomes Overview
Edgewood graduates enter the workforce with a median debt load of $24,424, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.41 when measured against their $59,728 median salary after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $259 consume just 5.2% of typical graduate income, well below the concerning 10% threshold financial advisors recommend avoiding. The college's 97.3% employment rate reflects strong job placement, particularly in education and healthcare fields where many graduates pursue teaching and nursing careers. These sectors value Edgewood's hands-on training and Catholic service mission. The 70.05% loan repayment rate indicates most graduates successfully manage their educational investment. Given the reasonable debt levels and solid earning potential, Edgewood delivers an average return on investment for students committed to service-oriented careers.
