Outcomes Overview
Herzing-Brookfield graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $21,500 and earn $36,909 within ten years of graduation. Monthly loan payments of $228 consume about 7.4% of typical graduate income, which is manageable compared to the national average of 10-15%. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.58 reflects reasonable borrowing relative to career outcomes. Most graduates find work in healthcare roles like medical assisting, nursing support, and health information management, plus business administration positions. The 94.2% employment rate demonstrates strong job placement in these practical fields. However, the 30.41% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments despite finding work. Given the modest earnings and mixed repayment success, Herzing offers an average return on investment for career-focused training.
