Outcomes Overview
Nossi graduates face a challenging financial reality after completing their creative programs. With median debt of $33,498 and median earnings of $35,113 ten years out, graduates carry a debt-to-income ratio of 95%. Monthly loan payments of $355 consume about 12% of typical graduate income, well above the recommended 10% threshold. Only 35% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The creative industries that Nossi graduates typically enter, graphic design, advertising, and media production, often start with lower salaries that gradually increase with experience and portfolio development. An 86.5% employment rate shows graduates find work, but earnings growth remains modest. This represents a weak return on investment for most students.
