Outcomes Overview
United States University graduates earn $116,503 in their first year after graduation, which drops to $83,001 by year five, suggesting many start in high-paying but potentially unstable positions. The median debt of $15,244 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.13, meaning graduates owe about 13% of their first-year salary. Monthly loan payments of $162 represent only 1.7% of typical graduate income, making debt very manageable. However, only 44.27% of borrowers successfully repay their loans, which is concerning given the low debt levels. The 96.1% employment rate looks impressive, but the declining earnings over time raise questions about career sustainability. This represents an average return on investment with mixed long-term prospects.
