Outcomes Overview
Graduates face a challenging financial picture despite strong employment prospects. The 96.7% employment rate shows employers value the school's design training. However, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 28.5% exceeds the recommended 10% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $127 consume about 3.6% of typical graduate income, which is manageable but not ideal given the $42,187 median earnings after ten years. Design careers often start with lower salaries that grow over time, which explains the jump from $27,980 at one year to higher earnings later. Most graduates enter graphic design, web design, and advertising roles in Ohio's regional markets. This represents a weak return on investment compared to other career-focused programs.
