Outcomes Overview

Graduates typically earn $35,171 ten years after completing their programs, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 36%. Monthly loan payments of $133 represent only 4.5% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 94.4% employment rate reflects strong regional job placement in healthcare, business, and technical fields that serve the Mid-Ohio Valley. Many graduates find work at Camden Clark Medical Center, DuPont's Washington Works facility, or local government agencies. The $12,570 median debt load ranks among the lowest for four-year institutions nationwide. Despite modest earnings potential, the combination of affordable debt and high employment rates delivers a strong return on investment for students seeking practical career preparation.
