Outcomes Overview
Sessions graduates enter the competitive design industry with a median debt of $17,813 and monthly loan payments of $189. Five years after graduation, the median earnings reach $39,898, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 45%. The monthly payment consumes about 5.7% of gross income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. However, 73.7% of graduates find employment, though the one-year median earnings of $28,773 suggest many start in entry-level creative roles. Graphic designers, web developers, and digital artists typically face salary volatility early in their careers. The relatively low debt load helps, but the modest earnings in a field where freelancing is common create financial uncertainty. This represents an average return on investment.
