Outcomes Overview
Hodges University graduates earn a median of $37,052 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 75% with median debt of $27,675. Monthly loan payments of $293 consume about 9.5% of graduates' income, which is manageable but not ideal. The 92% employment rate shows graduates find work, but the 32.78% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle to pay down debt quickly. The school's focus on business and health programs typically leads to steady middle-income careers in Southwest Florida's growing service economy. However, with only 22% of students graduating within six years, many never reach the degree-requiring jobs that justify the investment. This represents a weak return on investment for most students.
