Most graduates leave with $14,745 in debt, requiring monthly payments of $156. That's manageable against median earnings of $62,234 within ten years of graduation. The 97% employment rate reflects strong job prospects in Iowa's healthcare market. Nearly two-thirds of students take federal loans to cover costs.

In-state residents get the best financial deal here. With 94.44% of students from Iowa and identical tuition rates for all students, locals avoid the premium charged by most colleges for out-of-state attendance.
