Outcomes Overview
Ottawa University-Milwaukee graduates enter the workforce with a debt-to-earnings ratio of 39%, well below the national average of 60% for private colleges. Monthly loan payments of $228 consume about 5% of typical graduate income, making repayment manageable for most. The 97.4% employment rate reflects strong job placement, though the modest 46.5% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially. With median earnings of $55,552 ten years out, graduates typically find work in business, education, and healthcare fields where Ottawa's adult-focused programs prepare working professionals. The small class sizes and personalized attention help with career networking. Overall, Ottawa University-Milwaukee offers an average return on investment, with reasonable debt levels but limited earning potential compared to larger institutions.
