Outcomes Overview
University of Redlands graduates earn a median of $72,690 ten years after graduation, which puts them ahead of many liberal arts college graduates nationwide. With median debt of $26,000 and monthly loan payments of $276, graduates spend about 4.5% of their gross income on student loans. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.36 is quite manageable compared to the national average of 0.45 for private colleges. The 94.9% employment rate shows strong job market outcomes. Many Redlands graduates enter education, business, and nonprofit sectors, often staying in Southern California where the alumni network is strongest. The combination of reasonable debt levels and solid earning potential makes this a strong return on investment for students who value small class sizes and personal attention.
