Outcomes Overview
Wayne College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $23,250, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.50 against their $46,600 median income after ten years. Monthly loan payments of $246 consume about 6% of gross monthly income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The 96.6% employment rate reflects strong job placement in northeast Ohio's manufacturing and healthcare sectors. However, the concerning 45.89% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle despite finding work. Most students transfer to complete bachelor's degrees at the main Akron campus or enter associate-level positions in nursing, business, and technical fields. This represents an average return on investment.
