Outcomes Overview
TESU graduates earn a median of $69,331 ten years out, creating a favorable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 18% with typical debt loads around $12,500. Monthly loan payments of $133 represent only 2.3% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's focus on adult learners means many students already work in fields like business, healthcare, and technology while completing their degrees. An employment rate of 90.2% reflects the practical, career-focused nature of the programs. The flexible credit transfer system attracts working professionals seeking advancement rather than career changes. Despite moderate absolute earnings compared to traditional universities, the combination of low debt and high employment rates delivers a strong return on investment for adult learners.
