Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $65,934 ten years after leaving, putting them ahead of many regional competitors. The typical monthly loan payment of $212 represents just 3.9% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. With median debt at $20,000, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.30, which is favorable compared to the national average of 0.40 for private colleges. The school's health sciences programs feed into Minnesota's robust healthcare sector, where nursing and physical therapy graduates find steady employment. The 98.5% employment rate reflects strong regional job placement. Despite the high sticker price, the combination of moderate debt loads and solid earning potential delivers a strong return on investment.
