Outcomes Overview
Southeastern graduates carry a median debt of $17,000, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.38 when measured against their $45,079 median salary after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $180 consume about 4.8% of gross income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 93.1% employment rate reflects the practical nature of programs like teacher education and business that feed into stable regional job markets. Many graduates enter education, healthcare administration, and small business management across Oklahoma and Texas. Only half of borrowers successfully repay their loans within the standard timeframe, suggesting some financial strain despite manageable debt levels. This represents an average return on investment for a regional public university.
