Outcomes Overview
Washington University of Science and Technology graduates face a relatively favorable debt situation with tuition at $13,178 annually. Four-year graduates typically accumulate around $52,000 in total debt, translating to monthly payments of roughly $580. This represents approximately 12-15% of typical entry-level tech salaries in the DC metro area. The school's location near major government contractors and tech companies provides strong networking opportunities. However, the 54.50% six-year graduation rate means many students don't complete their programs efficiently. The quarter system allows faster completion for motivated students. Given the reasonable tuition costs and proximity to high-paying tech jobs in Northern Virginia, graduates who complete their degrees see an average return on investment.
