Outcomes Overview
Ross College graduates enter a challenging financial landscape despite strong job placement. The employment rate hits 94.1%, but median earnings of $29,898 create a concerning debt-to-earnings ratio of 32% when paired with typical $9,500 in loans. Monthly payments of $101 consume about 4% of gross income, which is manageable but leaves little room for error. Most graduates pursue healthcare support roles like medical assisting and dental hygiene, fields known for steady demand but modest wages. Only 31% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. While job prospects are solid, the combination of high tuition costs and below-average starting salaries creates a weak return on investment for most students.
