Outcomes Overview
Milwaukee Career College graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt burdens. The median debt of $7,046 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.25, meaning graduates owe about 25 cents for every dollar they earn annually. Monthly loan payments of $75 consume roughly 3% of median monthly income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's 97.2% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare and business sectors where demand remains high. However, the 23.52% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle to pay down their loans despite finding work. The median earnings of $28,355 ten years after graduation remain modest for the Milwaukee market. This represents a weak return on investment despite low debt levels.
