Marketing at University of Dubuque

University of Dubuque's marketing graduates start at $48,207—above both the national and Iowa medians—and earn $55,208 by year four. That's solid performance for a program at an 87% admission rate school, placing it in the 60th percentile among Iowa marketing programs and 67th percentile nationally. The $23,375 median debt is notably lower than both state and national averages, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.48. Graduates carry about $2,600 less debt than typical Iowa marketing students while earning slightly more.

However, the small sample size (under 30 graduates) means individual circumstances could heavily skew these numbers either way. While the outcomes look favorable compared to most Iowa schools—only the state's flagship and a few others show higher earnings—you can't bank on these exact figures with confidence. The 15% earnings growth over four years suggests decent career progression, and the accessible admissions means students who might not get into Iowa or Iowa State could achieve competitive outcomes here.

For families concerned about marketing program value, this data suggests University of Dubuque delivers respectable results with below-average debt. Just understand you're working with limited data points, so individual experiences may vary more than at larger programs.
