Outcomes Overview
Laurus College graduates face serious financial challenges after completing their degrees. With median debt of $32,416 and median earnings of $30,896 ten years out, graduates owe more than they earn annually. Monthly loan payments of $344 eat up about 13% of typical graduate income, well above the recommended 10% threshold. Only 29% of borrowers successfully repay their loans. The college primarily trains students for technical and healthcare support roles, but the 82.6% employment rate doesn't offset the debt burden. Given that graduates earn less than the national average while carrying substantial debt loads, this represents a weak return on investment for most students.
