Analysis
Saint Anselm's marketing graduates start at $50,721βbeating the state median by nearly $4,000 and landing in the 78th percentile nationally. That's solid positioning for a mid-sized New Hampshire college, though the small sample size (under 30 graduates) means these figures could shift year to year. Among the handful of schools offering marketing in New Hampshire, Saint Anselm edges out Franklin Pierce and clearly outperforms larger programs like Southern New Hampshire University.
The debt picture looks particularly attractive: at $27,000, graduates carry the NH median but rank in just the 5th percentile nationally for debtβmeaning 95% of marketing programs nationwide saddle students with more loans. The 0.53 debt-to-earnings ratio translates to manageable payments, roughly half a year's salary that most graduates could reasonably pay down within a few years if they're disciplined about it.
The caveat here is real. With fewer than 30 graduates in the data, one unusually successful or struggling cohort could skew these numbers significantly. But assuming the pattern holds, you're looking at above-average outcomes without the crushing debt that plagues many private colleges. For a student committed to marketing who values the liberal arts college environment, these numbers suggest reasonable valueβjust recognize you're betting on a smaller data set than you'd have with larger programs.
