Outcomes Overview
Indian River graduates earn a median of $38,315 ten years after leaving school. The typical monthly loan payment of $85 represents just 2.7% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. With median debt of only $8,023, the debt-to-earnings ratio is an excellent 0.21, meaning graduates owe roughly two months of salary. The school's 93% employment rate reflects strong job placement in Florida's growing healthcare, business, and public safety sectors. Many graduates transfer to four-year universities or enter local industries along the Treasure Coast. The combination of low debt, solid earnings growth, and high employment rates delivers a strong return on investment for most students.
