Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median salary of $48,587 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 46% based on the typical $22,310 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $237 consume about 5.9% of gross monthly income for median earners. The university's strong programs in education, business, and nursing funnel graduates into stable regional careers, with 96.6% finding employment after graduation. However, the 42% six-year graduation rate means many students don't complete their degrees, limiting earning potential. While debt levels remain manageable compared to national averages, the modest salary outcomes and concerning graduation rates suggest an average return on investment for those who persist to degree completion.
