Outcomes Overview
Ohio Dominican graduates earn a median of $51,748 ten years after graduation, which puts their monthly loan payment of $276 at about 6.4% of gross income. With median debt of $26,000, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of roughly 0.5, meaning they owe about half their annual salary. The 48% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle to pay down their loans quickly. ODU's Catholic mission and strong nursing program send many graduates into healthcare and social services, fields known for steady but modest pay. The 94.9% employment rate shows graduates find work, but the financial numbers point to a weak return on investment compared to similarly priced schools.
