Outcomes Overview
Saint Joseph's graduates earn a median salary of $86,881 ten years after graduation, creating a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.29. Monthly loan payments of $270 represent just 3.7% of typical graduate income. The university's strong business programs and Philadelphia location help explain why 96.3% of graduates find employment. Many enter finance, consulting, and healthcare management roles that leverage the Jesuit network and regional corporate connections.
