Outcomes Overview
St. Mary's graduates earn a median of $56,955 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 45% with typical debt of $25,563.

The school's strong business and law programs funnel graduates into San Antonio's growing finance and legal sectors. With a 91.6% employment rate, most students find work quickly after graduation. However, the 53% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with debt management despite decent earnings. Given the moderate debt levels and solid earning potential in Texas markets, St. Mary's offers an average return on investment.
