Outcomes Overview
Morgan State graduates earn a median of $50,698 ten years after graduation, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 54%. Monthly loan payments of $289 consume about 6.8% of typical graduate income. The school's strong engineering programs funnel graduates into technical fields where HBCU networks prove valuable for career advancement. However, the 24% loan repayment rate lags behind national averages. Many graduates enter public service, education, and corporate roles where Morgan State's reputation in the Mid-Atlantic region opens doors. Despite networking advantages and solid engineering outcomes, the combination of moderate earnings and concerning repayment rates suggests an average return on investment.
