Outcomes Overview
Penn State DuBois graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $25,000, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.39 based on their $63,435 median salary after 10 years.

The 95.7% employment rate reflects strong regional job placement in Pennsylvania's growing healthcare, manufacturing, and business sectors.

With relatively low debt and solid earning potential, Penn State DuBois offers a strong return on investment.
