Is it worth it?
Earnings, debt, and price side by side — context for the cost-vs-payoff question, not a ranking.

- These numbers reflect who enrolls, not the value the school adds. A college's earnings can look high simply because it admits wealthier, higher-scoring students — not because of what happens there.
- Earnings vary far more by major and career path than by school. A school-wide median blends engineers and artists into one number that may match no real student.
- Federal earnings and debt figures cover only students who received federal aid, so they leave out full-pay students and can skew the picture.
- Net price is an average across aided students and debt is the median for borrowers only — many students borrow nothing. Your actual cost depends on your own aid package.
What this means
$40k is below the national bachelor's-graduate median at the 10-year mark, and a 0% graduation rate is below the national average.
