Outcomes Overview
Westcliff graduates face a monthly loan payment of $252 on median debt of $23,750. This payment represents roughly 10-12% of typical entry-level salaries in business and technology fields where many alumni find work. The debt load sits below the national average for private universities, though the 59.80% six-year graduation rate means four in ten students never complete their degree. Graduates often enter roles in business administration, information technology, and education sectors common to career-focused programs. The university's professional orientation and Orange County location provide networking opportunities in growing industries. Given the moderate debt burden and access to California's robust job market, Westcliff offers an average return on investment for students who complete their programs.
