Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management at Sullivan University

Sullivan University's IT management program produces graduates earning $69,369 in their first year—well above the $58,056 national median and matching the Kentucky median for this degree. The estimated debt load of $46,262, however, sits considerably higher than the $27,000 typical nationally for this credential, suggesting this school's students are borrowing substantially more than peers elsewhere.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.67 means graduates are looking at roughly eight months of gross income to cover their loans—manageable compared to many programs, but less favorable than what students at other IT management programs appear to face. While Sullivan's graduates command strong salaries that place them in the 84th percentile nationally, that advantage gets partially offset by the estimated debt burden. The relatively low Pell grant enrollment (11%) suggests this isn't primarily serving low-income students who might struggle most with higher debt loads.

The practical takeaway: if your child can match these estimated earnings, they'll likely manage the debt without major strain, but they're potentially paying a premium compared to similar programs. Before committing, confirm the actual debt graduates carry—the Department of Education suppressed that figure due to small sample sizes, so the school itself may be able to provide more precise numbers about what recent graduates actually borrowed.
