Outcomes Overview
Graduates carry $24,500 in median debt against earnings of $45,388 ten years out, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 54%. Monthly loan payments of $260 consume about 7% of typical graduate income. The 96.4% employment rate shows strong job placement success. As a regional campus serving rural northeast Ohio, many graduates enter healthcare, education, and business roles in the Cleveland-Akron metro area. The modest debt load keeps financial stress low compared to four-year university averages. However, the relatively modest earning potential reflects the regional job market and the campus's focus on associate and certificate programs alongside bachelor's degrees. Overall, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking affordable education close to home.
