Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $37,533 ten years after completion, while carrying just $6,500 in debt. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 17% falls well below the federal benchmark of 20% for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $69 represent only 2.2% of typical graduate income, making repayment highly manageable. The 95.7% employment rate reflects strong demand for skilled workers in southern Illinois agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare sectors where many Warriors find work. With 59% of loan borrowers successfully repaying their debt, Wabash Valley delivers solid financial outcomes for a rural community college. The combination of low debt and steady employment makes this a strong return on investment.
