Outcomes Overview
UMN-Morris graduates carry a median debt of $18,995, which translates to monthly payments of $201. With median earnings of $50,919 ten years after graduation, graduates spend about 4.7% of their monthly income on loan payments. This debt-to-income ratio of 0.37 sits well below the concerning 1.0 threshold that financial experts warn against. The school's focus on sustainability and renewable energy opens doors to growing green economy sectors. An employment rate of 95.8% demonstrates strong job placement success. The combination of relatively low debt, solid earnings growth from $38,659 at one year to over $50,000 at ten years, and access to emerging industries creates a strong return on investment for this prairie liberal arts experience.
