Outcomes Overview
Quincy graduates earn a median of $50,369 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 48%. Monthly loan payments of $254 consume about 6% of typical graduate income. The 96.5% employment rate reflects strong career placement services at this Catholic institution. Many graduates enter education, healthcare, and business sectors, leveraging the university's emphasis on practical training and Catholic values in the workplace. However, the relatively modest earnings compared to the $35,740 sticker price and 42.7% six-year graduation rate raise concerns. While financial aid brings costs down for most students, Quincy represents an average return on investment for those who complete their degrees.
