Outcomes Overview
Wentworth graduates enter the job market with strong earning potential but manageable debt loads. With median debt of $25,028 and median earnings of $82,721 ten years out, graduates have a debt-to-earnings ratio of about 30%, well below the problematic 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $265 represent just 3.8% of typical graduate income, making repayment very manageable. The 97% employment rate reflects high demand for Wentworth's hands-on trained engineers and technology professionals in Boston's thriving tech and biotech industries. Many graduates work for companies like Raytheon, General Electric, and local startups that value practical skills over theoretical knowledge. This represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
