Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a median debt of $24,853 against median earnings of $42,269, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 59%. Monthly loan payments of $263 consume about 7.5% of graduates' income, which falls within manageable territory. The 88% employment rate suggests strong job placement in paralegal roles, legal research positions, and law firm support staff. However, only 29% of borrowers successfully repay their loans. Most graduates enter entry-level paralegal positions at law firms, corporate legal departments, and government agencies where starting salaries typically range from $35,000 to $45,000. The specialized nature of paralegal work provides steady employment opportunities in the growing legal services sector. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused legal education.
