Outcomes Overview
Xavier graduates earn a median of $64,873 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-income ratio of 36% with typical debt loads of $23,250. Monthly loan payments of $246 represent just 4.5% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's strong alumni network in Cincinnati's corporate sector helps explain the 97% employment rate. Many graduates enter business, healthcare, and education fields where Xavier's Jesuit reputation opens doors. The combination of reasonable debt levels, solid earning potential, and strong job placement makes this a strong return on investment, particularly for students planning to work in the Midwest.
