Outcomes Overview
Huntingdon graduates earn a median of $49,601 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 54% with typical debt of $27,000. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 7% of gross income, which is manageable but not strong. The college's strong athletic programs and liberal arts focus traditionally prepare students for careers in education, social services, and local business in Alabama's capital region. However, the 51% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with debt obligations. The employment rate of 94.8% shows most graduates find work, but earnings lag behind national averages for college graduates. Overall, Huntingdon offers an average return on investment.
