Outcomes Overview
UNT graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $19,250 and earn $42,036 in their first year after graduation. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 46%, well below the concerning 60% threshold financial experts warn against. Monthly loan payments of $204 represent just 5.8% of typical graduate income. The university's strong music program sends graduates to Nashville and Los Angeles, while business majors often find opportunities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. With 94.6% of graduates employed and median earnings climbing to $57,010 by year ten, UNT delivers a strong return on investment for Texas students seeking affordable access to career-focused programs.
