Outcomes Overview
Goodwin graduates face a monthly loan payment of $355, which consumes about 9.8% of their typical first-year salary of $43,596. The median debt of $33,500 represents a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.77, below the concerning 1.0 threshold. However, only 34.22% of borrowers stay current on loan payments. The university's career focus on nursing, healthcare, and technology typically leads to stable employment opportunities. With a 94.6% employment rate, graduates find work quickly in Connecticut's healthcare sector. The relatively modest earnings growth from $43,596 at graduation to $65,520 after five years reflects the practical, middle-income careers the school targets. Overall, Goodwin offers an average return on investment for students seeking hands-on healthcare and technical training.
