Despite an impressive 98% acceptance rate, welcoming nearly every applicant, the university’s appeal is tempered by post-graduation realities. Median earnings for alumni, six years out, hover around $27,700, significantly below the national average, signaling potential concerns about the value of the education provided.
However, there’s a catch: graduates often leave with an average debt of $26,616, which is a lot, especially for a college that’s supposed to be affordable. When you consider that the average salary after graduation is only $24,400, paying off that debt seems really tough. Plus, with only 39% of students graduating, it makes you wonder why more students don’t finish their degrees.
