Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $41,544 ten years after leaving, which creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 58% for the typical $24,000 in loans. Monthly payments of $254 consume about 7% of gross income, which is manageable but not ideal. The university's strong engineering and business programs typically feed graduates into Ohio's manufacturing and healthcare sectors. However, the 39% loan repayment rate suggests many students struggle to keep up with payments. The employment rate of 96.4% shows most graduates find work, but earnings lag behind national averages for four-year degree holders. For in-state students paying around $8,000 net price, this represents an average return on investment.
