Outcomes Overview
University of Mary Hardin-Baylor graduates carry a median debt of $26,000, which translates to monthly payments of $276. With median earnings of $56,132 after ten years, graduates spend about 5.9% of their monthly income on loan payments. This debt-to-income ratio sits below the concerning 10% threshold that financial experts recommend avoiding. The school's strong teacher preparation and nursing programs funnel graduates into stable, public service careers with predictable salary trajectories. Employment rates reach 95.9%, reflecting the practical nature of UMHB's programs. While starting salaries may be modest in education and healthcare fields, the manageable debt load and high job placement rates create a strong return on investment for students seeking meaningful careers in service professions.
