Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a challenging financial picture with median debt of $22,500 against starting earnings of just $21,800 after six years. The debt-to-earnings ratio exceeds 100%, well above the recommended 10% threshold for manageable repayment. Monthly loan payments of $239 consume roughly 13% of typical graduate income, straining budgets . However, the employment rate reaches an impressive 99.1%, suggesting strong job placement despite lower wages. Most graduates likely enter healthcare support roles or business services, fields common among the university's predominantly female, Hispanic student body. The loan repayment rate of 68.74% indicates many struggle with payments. Overall, this represents a weak return on investment given the debt burden relative to earning potential.
