Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies at Crowley's Ridge College

A 0.67 debt-to-earnings ratio sounds manageable on paper, but here's the catch: both figures are national estimates, and they paint a puzzling picture when you look at what's actually happening in Arkansas. Other interdisciplinary studies programs in the state report median earnings around $56,000—nearly 45% higher than what peer programs nationally suggest for Crowley's Ridge graduates. That gap matters when you're planning loan repayments.

The estimated $25,878 in debt aligns closely with what similar small private colleges report, so that number feels reliable. But the earnings estimate of $38,704 may not capture Arkansas's unique labor market for this degree. Some state programs like University of Arkansas Grantham report nearly double these earnings, while Arkansas Tech comes in slightly below the estimate. With nearly half of students receiving Pell grants, affordability concerns are real here, and the wide variance across Arkansas programs makes it especially difficult to predict outcomes.

Without actual graduate data from Crowley's Ridge, you're betting on a national average in a state where outcomes vary dramatically. Before committing, contact the college directly for their own placement data and typical employers—what graduates actually do after this degree matters more than any estimate can tell you. The interdisciplinary label is broad enough that job prospects depend heavily on how the college structures the program.
