Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 32%, well below the concerning 40% threshold that signals financial stress. Monthly loan payments of $101 consume roughly 4% of typical graduate income, leaving room for other expenses. The 94% employment rate reflects strong demand for medical assistants and healthcare technicians in Fort Wayne's growing healthcare sector. However, median earnings of $30,072 lag behind many other healthcare programs, and the low 32% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially despite finding work. Most enter entry-level positions at hospitals, clinics, and medical offices throughout Indiana. Given the modest debt load and reliable job placement, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking quick entry into healthcare careers.
