Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a challenging financial reality with median earnings of $26,209 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 47% based on the median debt of $12,271. Monthly loan payments of $130 consume about 6% of typical graduate income, which is manageable but leaves little room for error. The 85.9% employment rate shows most graduates find work, likely in acupuncture clinics, wellness centers, or starting private practices in traditional Chinese medicine. However, the 36.69% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle to pay down their debt. While the specialized training opens doors to growing alternative medicine fields, the low starting salaries create a weak return on investment for most students.
