Outcomes Overview
Fortis Institute-Scranton graduates face a challenging financial reality despite strong job placement. The 95.2% employment rate shows the school delivers on its career-focused promise. However, graduates earn a median of $30,224 ten years out, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 31% with $9,500 in typical debt. Monthly loan payments of $101 consume about 4% of gross income, which is manageable but tight for entry-level healthcare and skilled trades positions. The 29% loan repayment rate signals many graduates struggle financially despite finding work. Most enter lower-paying healthcare support roles like medical assistants or dental hygienists rather than higher-earning clinical positions. This represents a weak return on investment given the substantial net costs.
