Outcomes Overview
Fortis graduates enter a tight job market with a 95.2% employment rate, though earnings tell a more complex story. The typical graduate earns $34,509 ten years out, while carrying $13,000 in debt with monthly payments of $138. That payment represents about 5% of gross income, which is manageable compared to four-year college graduates who often face 10-15% ratios. Most graduates find work in healthcare support roles, skilled trades, or entry-level tech positions where demand remains steady in Ohio's economy. The 30.52% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments despite employment. For students seeking quick entry into stable careers without heavy debt, this represents an average return on investment.
