Cost weighed against outcomes
Median earnings ten years after entry are $52,485 a year. That figure covers students who received federal aid, who were working and not enrolled in further study at the ten year mark.
Median debt at graduation is $29,105. That is the median federal loan debt of students who completed a program at this school.
Put together, one year of median earnings at the ten year mark is about 1.8 times the median debt at graduation. That framing is rough. Earnings grow over a career, debt is usually repaid over many years, and both figures are medians across large groups, not a result any one student is promised.
