Outcomes Overview
La Salle graduates earn a median of $67,416 ten years after graduation, while carrying typical debt loads of $25,000. Monthly loan payments of $265 consume about 5% of graduates' income, which sits comfortably below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's Catholic liberal arts foundation opens doors to diverse career paths, though many graduates gravitate toward business, healthcare, and education sectors given the school's strong programs in these areas. With a 94.8% employment rate and debt-to-income ratio of 0.37, graduates generally find stable footing in the job market. The financial return represents an average investment outcome for a private Catholic university.
