Outcomes Overview
Tiffin graduates face a challenging financial reality with median debt of $27,000 against median earnings of $35,942 after ten years. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 75%, well above the recommended 50% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume roughly 10% of typical graduate income. The university's 97.3% employment rate looks impressive, but many graduates struggle with loan repayment, evidenced by the 23.3% repayment rate. Tiffin's career services focus heavily on business and criminal justice fields, where starting salaries often lag behind debt obligations. Despite strong job placement numbers, the financial math presents a weak return on investment for most students.
