Outcomes Overview
Rogue graduates face a challenging financial reality with median debt of $17,042 against median earnings of $36,845 after ten years. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 46% exceeds the recommended 30% threshold for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $181 consume roughly 6% of typical graduate income, which is reasonable but tight given Oregon's cost of living. The employment rate of 92.4% shows strong job placement success. Many graduates enter healthcare support roles, skilled trades, and local service industries that anchor southern Oregon's economy. However, the low loan repayment rate of 28% signals widespread financial struggle among borrowers. The return on investment appears weak given the debt burden relative to earning potential.
