Student Loan Repayment Rate = 28.35%

The Repayment Rate is a measure of whether students who were enrolled in a Gainful Employment (GE) Program are repaying their Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) and Direct Loan Program loans. These former students include both those who completed the educational program and those who did not. A Repayment Rate is calculated using the Title IV loan repayment activity for the most recently completed federal fiscal year. Not all loans that entered repayment are included; for example, loans that are currently in deferment due to military service or because the borrower went back to school are not included. Additionally, not all loans that are in repayment are considered satisfactory for gainful employment purposes; for example, a loan that was in default at any point is not included as satisfactory even if it has been brought current by the time the rate is measured.

Student Discretionary Debt-To-Earnings Ratio = 4.56%

Discretionary debt-to-earnings ratio is essentially annual student debt payments divided by annual discretionary income. Discretionary income is the difference between the average annual earnings of the GE Program’s completers and 150% of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Poverty Guideline for a single person in the continental U.S. Only students who completed the program are included in the calculation.

Student Annual Debt-To-Earnings = 2.62%
