Outcomes Overview
Post graduates carry a median debt of $30,157 against median earnings of $38,696, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 78%. Monthly loan payments of $320 consume about 10% of typical graduate income. The university's loan repayment rate of 27.75% falls well below national averages. Post's focus on career-oriented programs like criminal justice, business, and sports management helps explain the solid 89.7% employment rate. However, the relatively modest earnings compared to debt load create financial pressure for many graduates. The debt burden is manageable but not ideal given earning potential. This represents an average return on investment at best.
