Outcomes Overview
SNHU graduates earn a median of $50,318 ten years after enrollment, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.42. Monthly loan payments of $224 consume about 5.3% of typical graduate income. The university has built strong pipelines into business, healthcare, and education sectors through its career services network. Nearly half of borrowers struggle with loan repayment at a 47% rate. The 92.5% employment rate reflects SNHU's focus on practical, job-ready skills training. Many graduates leverage the university's extensive alumni network in nonprofit and corporate settings. Despite reasonable debt levels, the below-average earnings and concerning repayment statistics point to a weak return on investment for most students.
