Outcomes Overview
LaGrange graduates face a mixed financial picture after earning their degrees. The median debt of $25,730 creates monthly payments of $273, consuming about 6% of typical graduate earnings of $51,745. This debt-to-income ratio of 0.5 sits near the national average for private colleges. The college's strong teacher education program feeds graduates into Georgia's public schools, where starting salaries often lag behind the state median. Music program graduates typically pursue performance, education, or ministry roles that prioritize passion over pay. With 96.7% of graduates finding employment but relatively modest earnings growth, LaGrange delivers an average return on investment for students seeking careers in service-oriented fields.
