Outcomes Overview
Moore graduates enter creative fields where early career earnings start modestly but grow over time. The median debt of $26,000 creates monthly payments of $276, representing about 15% of typical first-year earnings of $22,194. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.2:1 is reasonable for art school graduates. Earnings jump to $37,839 by year ten, making the monthly payments more manageable at just 9% of income. The 91.9% employment rate suggests strong job placement in design, illustration, and visual arts careers. Moore's all-women environment and Philadelphia location provide strong networking opportunities in creative industries. Despite the steep $73,535 total cost, the moderate debt levels and steady earnings growth indicate an average return on investment for dedicated art students.
