Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $52,581 within ten years, while carrying $21,056 in debt. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 40%, well below the concerning 100% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $223 consume about 5% of typical graduate income. The 97.1% employment rate reflects strong job placement in southeastern Ohio's healthcare, education, and public service sectors. However, the 52.3% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite reasonable debt levels. Regional campus graduates often work locally in nursing, business administration, and social services. Given the low tuition costs and solid employment outcomes, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking affordable credentials in rural Ohio.
