Outcomes Overview
Midland graduates earn a median of $52,163 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 50% with typical debt loads of $26,134. Monthly loan payments of $277 consume about 6% of gross income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The 98.1% employment rate reflects strong job placement, though many graduates enter fields like education and business that don't command premium salaries. With a net price averaging $24,229 and solid earning potential in Nebraska's job market, students see reasonable returns despite the modest salary figures. This represents an average return on investment for a private university education.
