Outcomes Overview
Ulster graduates earn a median of $41,896 ten years after leaving school, while carrying just $10,000 in debt. That creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 24%, well below the federal guideline of 30%. Monthly loan payments of $106 represent only 3% of typical graduate income. The 92.4% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Hudson Valley region. Many graduates find work in healthcare support, business services, and skilled trades that serve the area's tourism and agriculture sectors. With 99.51% of students coming from in-state, most stay local after graduation. The low debt burden and solid regional employment prospects make this a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
