Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $29,982 one year after leaving, creating a concerning debt-to-earnings ratio of 72%. Monthly loan payments of $228 consume 9.1% of typical graduate income, well above the recommended 10% threshold for manageable debt. The employment rate reaches 97.9%, but low starting salaries limit financial flexibility. As a young institution founded in 2010, Saint Katherine lacks the established alumni networks that help graduates secure higher-paying positions. The school's focus on liberal arts and Orthodox Christian education appeals to students seeking values-based learning rather than career preparation. Given the high debt burden relative to earnings potential, this represents a weak return on investment for most students.
