Outcomes Overview
Snow College graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, carrying a median debt of just $7,000 and monthly payments of only $74. With median earnings of $41,022 ten years after graduation, the debt-to-earnings ratio sits at a reasonable 17%, well below the national average of 25% for college graduates. Monthly loan payments consume just 2.2% of typical graduate income, leaving plenty of room for other expenses. Many graduates stay in Utah's agriculture, education, and public service sectors, where starting salaries may be modest but job security is strong. The 88.1% employment rate shows graduates find work consistently. This represents a strong return on investment for students seeking affordable education without crushing debt.
