Outcomes Overview
Fisher graduates enter the workforce with a $23,250 median debt load, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 35% against their $66,944 median salary. Monthly loan payments of $246 consume just 4.4% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's strong ties to Rochester's healthcare systems and school districts help explain the impressive 97.9% employment rate. Education and nursing majors often secure positions at local hospitals and schools, while pharmacy graduates benefit from the program's regional reputation. With graduates earning above the national median and carrying reasonable debt, Fisher delivers a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
