Outcomes Overview
Newberry graduates earn a median of $48,040 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 56% based on the typical $26,805 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $284 consume about 7% of graduates' income, which is manageable compared to the national guideline of 10%. The college's strong athletic programs and liberal arts focus typically lead graduates into education, coaching, business, and nonprofit sectors. With 96.5% of graduates finding employment and a loan repayment rate of 55.81%, outcomes are solid for a small regional college. However, the modest salary levels and 44% six-year graduation rate suggest an average return on investment for most students.
