Outcomes Overview
Springfield College's continuing education graduates enter the workforce with a debt-to-earnings ratio of 55%, meaning they owe about half of their first year's salary in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $278 consume roughly 9% of their gross income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The 96.7% employment rate reflects strong job placement in education, social work, and healthcare fields where Springfield College has built lasting industry connections. Graduates typically see steady salary growth, with median earnings jumping from $38,460 in year one to $48,036 by year ten. However, the 55% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with debt management. This represents an average return on investment for career-focused programs.
