Outcomes Overview
Wabash graduates earn a median of $69,952 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 39% based on the typical $27,000 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $286 represent just 4.9% of median starting salaries. The all-male liberal arts network opens doors in business, law, and public service, with alumni like Supreme Court Justice Byron White demonstrating the college's reach into high-level positions. The 93.9% employment rate reflects strong career outcomes. While the $49,125 sticker price seems steep for a small Indiana college, generous financial aid brings the average net cost down to $21,906. This represents a strong return on investment for students seeking tight-knit brotherhood and professional connections.
