Outcomes Overview
Schoolcraft graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $10,500 and monthly loan payments of $111. That payment represents just 3.2% of typical monthly income based on median earnings of $42,722. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.25 sits well below the concerning 1.0 threshold that financial experts warn against. With a 94.6% employment rate, graduates find work quickly in Detroit's manufacturing, healthcare, and business sectors. Many transfer to four-year universities after completing prerequisites at a fraction of the cost. Monthly loan payments remain manageable even for entry-level positions. Despite the low graduation rates, those who complete programs see strong financial returns on their investment.
