Outcomes Overview
Lindsey Wilson graduates earn a median of $41,129 ten years after graduation, while carrying $16,784 in debt. Monthly loan payments of $178 consume about 5.2% of typical graduate income, which is manageable compared to the national average of 10%. The college's 94.8% employment rate shows strong job placement success. However, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.41 reveals graduates earn roughly 2.4 times their debt load, which is modest for a private college investment. Many graduates enter education, healthcare, and business fields common in rural Kentucky. The low net price of $13,811 helps offset concerns about earning potential. Overall, Lindsey Wilson offers an average return on investment.
