Outcomes Overview

Voorhees graduates earn a median salary of $35,339 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 76% with typical debt of $26,700. Monthly loan payments of $283 consume about 10% of gross income, which is manageable but higher than ideal. The 17.55% loan repayment rate indicates many graduates struggle with payments. As a historically black college focused on liberal arts and community service, Voorhees traditionally prepares students for careers in education, social work, and nonprofit sectors. The 91.7% employment rate shows graduates find work, but earnings lag behind national averages for college graduates. Given the modest salary outcomes relative to debt burden, Voorhees offers a weak return on investment.
