Arts, Entertainment,and Media Management at Baldwin Wallace University

Baldwin Wallace's Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management program produces outcomes that hover right around Ohio's median for this field—$29,088 in first-year earnings against $27,000 in debt. With only 14 schools offering this program in Ohio, that 60th percentile state ranking means graduates here are doing slightly better than most in-state alternatives, though the differences are modest given the small sample size.

The debt picture deserves attention: at the 5th percentile nationally, this program carries significantly less debt than most arts management programs across the country. That near-even debt-to-earnings ratio (0.93) is actually favorable for a creative field where many graduates face much steeper debt burdens. Nationally, the program sits squarely in the middle pack—53rd percentile—which means it's neither overperforming nor underperforming relative to similar programs elsewhere.

The real question for parents is whether $29,000 in earnings justifies the investment at all, regardless of how it compares to other arts management programs. That's a tight budget for a new graduate, even with relatively modest debt. If your student is committed to this field and planning to stay in Ohio, Baldwin Wallace offers a less debt-intensive path than many alternatives. Just remember the small sample size means these numbers could shift considerably year to year.
