Outcomes Overview
University of Michigan-Flint graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $25,000 and earn $53,230 ten years after graduation. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 47% falls within reasonable range for public universities. Monthly loan payments of $265 consume about 6% of typical graduate income, which is manageable for most borrowers. The 95.9% employment rate reflects strong regional job placement in healthcare, education, and business sectors that anchor Flint's economy. However, the 40.95% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with debt service despite steady employment. The combination of moderate debt levels, solid employment prospects, and University of Michigan credentials delivers an average return on investment for students committed to staying in the region.
