Outcomes Overview
Menlo graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $21,750, creating monthly payments of $231 that represent about 3.6% of their typical starting income. The employment rate hits 92.9%, reflecting the school's strong business connections and internship programs that help students land jobs quickly. Graduates often move into sales, marketing, and small business management roles where their entrepreneurial training pays off. With median earnings jumping from $48,400 in year one to $81,997 by year five, the income growth trajectory is solid. The debt-to-income ratio stays manageable compared to many private colleges, and the quick jump in earnings helps offset the higher tuition costs.
