Graduates earn about $1,397 less than similar students at comparable institutions, placing the institution in the 51.9 percentile for earnings beyond expectations among nonprofit four-year institutions.

Fit depends on two realistic filters: the 83.0% admit rate makes the application process selective, and the program mix favors business and social sciences over STEM fields. Students whose interests align with those areas and who can navigate the application process will find the earnings trajectory and aid package among the strongest in the region.
