Outcomes Overview
Seton Hall graduates earn a median of $70,196 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 32% with typical debt loads of $22,750. Monthly loan payments of $241 represent about 4% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's strong connections to Wall Street and Manhattan healthcare systems help explain the robust 94.2% employment rate. Business and nursing graduates particularly benefit from proximity to New York City's financial district and medical centers. Many alumni land positions at major corporations, hospitals, and media companies within the tri-state area. Despite the hefty $69,720 total cost, Seton Hall delivers a strong return on investment through solid earning potential and reasonable debt burdens.
