Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $42,957 ten years after college, which puts their typical debt of $24,000 at a manageable 56% debt-to-earnings ratio. Monthly loan payments of $254 take about 7% of gross income, below the recommended 10% threshold. The 96.7% employment rate shows most graduates find work, though many enter teaching and social services fields that typically pay less than business or tech careers. With 52% of students taking federal loans, debt loads stay reasonable for a liberal arts education. The school's strong teacher preparation programs help explain why graduates often choose public service careers over high-paying corporate jobs. This represents an average return on investment for students who value meaningful work over maximum earnings.
