Outcomes Overview
Mary graduates earn a median of $60,909 within 10 years, putting them ahead of many regional peers. The typical graduate carries $24,000 in debt with monthly payments of $254. This debt-to-income ratio of 39% falls within manageable territory, though monthly payments consume about 5% of typical graduate income. The school's Catholic mission and strong nursing program funnel many graduates into healthcare and education sectors, which offer stable if modest compensation. With a 97% employment rate and loan repayment rate of 76%, most graduates find work quickly. The return on investment is average - not strong earnings potential, but reasonable debt loads for a private university.
