Outcomes Overview
Greensboro College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $25,607 and earn $46,566 ten years out. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 55%, which is reasonable for a small liberal arts college. Monthly loan payments of $271 consume about 7% of typical graduate income. The college's theatre and music programs traditionally feed into creative industries where early-career earnings start lower but can grow . With a 95.1% employment rate, graduates find work relatively easily. However, the 40.8% six-year graduation rate means many students never reach the finish line. For students who complete their degrees, particularly in the arts, Greensboro offers average return on investment.
