Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $51,129 ten years after leaving, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 40% based on the typical $20,492 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $217 consume about 5% of graduates' income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.2% employment rate demonstrates strong job market performance. However, the concerning 53.88% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle to pay down their debt despite finding work. UW-Parkside Flex serves working adults and career changers seeking flexible degree completion options. The relatively low debt load compared to four-year averages helps offset modest earning potential. This represents an average return on investment for students prioritizing accessibility over high earnings.
