Outcomes Overview
Robert Morris graduates earn a median of $62,105 ten years after leaving campus. With median debt of $26,950, graduates face a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 43%. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 5.5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 96.2% employment rate reflects strong career services and the university's connections to Pittsburgh's business community.

The relatively low debt burden compared to earnings, combined with high employment rates, makes this a strong return on investment for students seeking practical career preparation.
