Information Science/Studies at LeTourneau University

Based on comparable Information Science programs in Texas, LeTourneau's graduates appear positioned right at the state median with estimated first-year earnings around $55,000. That's roughly $3,500 below the national median for this degree, though still within the mainstream range for the field. The estimated debt load of about $27,000 creates a manageable 0.48 ratio—meaning graduates would owe roughly half their first-year salary, which falls comfortably below the concerning 1.0 threshold.

The challenge with these estimates is understanding where LeTourneau actually sits within Texas's wide spectrum. The top programs in the state report outcomes ranging from $45,000 to over $71,000, and without this school's specific data, you're essentially betting on the middle of that pack. LeTourneau's selective admissions (41% acceptance rate, 1262 SAT average) and low Pell enrollment suggest a well-resourced student body, which could mean better-than-average career outcomes—or it could simply reflect family resources that make the investment easier to absorb.

For parents, the key question is whether you're comfortable with an "average" projection when actual outcomes remain uncertain. If your student has stronger technical skills or career networking already in place, they might land above that $55,000 estimate. But without program-specific data, you're making an investment decision based on peer performance rather than proven track record from this particular institution.
