Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $56,930 ten years after graduation, putting their debt-to-income ratio at 47%. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 6% of typical graduate income. The 92% employment rate reflects strong job placement in creative industries where JPG has built relationships. Many alumni work in film production, digital media, and entertainment business roles in Southern California. The $26,968 median debt load is manageable compared to national averages for private colleges. However, starting salaries of $28,973 create initial financial pressure for recent graduates. The specialized media arts focus opens doors but limits career flexibility compared to broader programs. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for students committed to creative careers.
