Outcomes Overview
Penn State Greater Allegheny graduates earn a median salary of $63,435 six years after graduation, resulting in a debt-to-earnings ratio of 39% based on the typical $25,000 in student loans.

The 95.7% employment rate demonstrates strong job placement success. As a Penn State campus, graduates benefit from the university's extensive alumni network and recognition among Pennsylvania employers, particularly in business, technology, and healthcare sectors. The relatively modest debt load combined with solid earning potential and high employment rates creates a strong return on investment for this regional campus.
