Outcomes Overview
Kent State Tuscarawas graduates carry a median debt of $24,500, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.54 compared to their $45,388 median salary after 10 years. Monthly loan payments of $260 consume about 6.9% of graduates' income, which is manageable for most budgets. The 96.4% employment rate shows strong job placement success. As a regional campus, many graduates enter healthcare, business, and education fields that serve the local Tuscarawas County area. However, the relatively modest median earnings and 47% loan repayment rate suggest financial challenges for some alumni. The low net prices for lower-income families help, but the overall return on investment remains average given the moderate earning potential in this rural Ohio region.
