Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $52,374 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt of $27,000. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.52, which is reasonable for a STEM-focused institution. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 6.5% of median graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's technology focus and location in Pennsylvania's capital creates strong connections to government contractors and tech companies in the region. An impressive 96.1% employment rate demonstrates that employers value the practical, industry-aligned curriculum. Despite the modest 43.4% six-year graduation rate, those who complete their degrees see solid returns. The combination of manageable debt levels and strong earning potential in growing tech sectors makes this a strong return on investment for students who finish their programs.
