Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a tough financial reality with median debt of $25,250 and median earnings of $45,606 ten years out. That creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 55%, well above the recommended 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $268 eat up about 7% of a typical graduate's income, which is manageable but not comfortable. The 41% loan repayment rate suggests many students struggle to pay down their debt on schedule. St. Andrews' liberal arts focus typically leads graduates into education, social services, and nonprofit work, fields known for lower starting salaries. With a 96.1% employment rate, graduates do find jobs, but the combination of high debt and modest earnings makes this a weak return on investment.
