Year 3 $13,943 2028–2029
Year 4 $14,362 2029–2030

Debt math

Loan repayment scenarios

If you borrow the median $25,125 at a 6.5% federal rate, here's what each repayment plan looks like.

10-year standard plan $273/mo Total paid: $32,760
15-year extended $205/mo Total paid: $36,900
20-year extended $173/mo Total paid: $41,520

Debt-to-earnings: 40% of one year's median pay. Financial advisors recommend keeping student debt under 100% of expected first-year salary. You're well below that threshold.

How we calculate ROI

Every number on this page comes from the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. ROI score = (median earnings 10 years out × 10) / (avg net price × 4). The higher the ratio, the more graduates earn per dollar invested. We then percentile-rank every US college on that score to assign letter grades A+ through D. Read the full methodology →
