Outcomes Overview
Ursuline graduates earn a median of $56,878 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 46%. The typical monthly loan payment of $278 represents about 6% of gross monthly income. This compares favorably to the national average where graduates often pay 10-15% of income toward loans. The 97.2% employment rate reflects strong job placement in nursing, education, and social work fields where Ursuline has built regional connections. Many graduates enter healthcare systems and school districts throughout Ohio. While the 53% graduation rate suggests academic challenges, those who complete their degrees find stable careers. The financial return represents an average investment for a small Catholic college.
