Outcomes Overview
Keiser graduates face a challenging financial reality with a median debt of $26,125 against median earnings of $39,696 ten years out. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 66%, well above the recommended 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $277 consume about 8% of typical graduate income. The 92.7% employment rate sounds promising, but the 30.12% loan repayment rate tells a different story about financial stability. Many graduates enter healthcare support roles, business services, and technical fields where starting salaries often lag behind debt obligations. With mean six-year earnings at just $31,200, the financial picture becomes even more concerning. This represents a weak return on investment for most students.
