Outcomes Overview
Ohio University-Eastern graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $21,056 and earn $52,581 within ten years. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 40%, well below the concerning 60% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $223 represent just 5% of typical graduate income. The campus serves Ohio's coal and natural gas region, where many graduates find work in energy, healthcare, and local government roles. With a 97.1% employment rate and relatively low borrowing costs, Eastern delivers practical career preparation for regional industries. The strong earnings-to-debt ratio and high employment numbers point to a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable education with solid job prospects.
