Analysis

University of Evansville's graduates earn nearly $4,000 more than the typical Indiana program in this field, placing them in the 60th percentile statewide—though notably behind the state's top performers at University of Indianapolis ($51K) and Vincennes ($42K). The first-year median of $39,815 beats both state and national averages, which matters for associate degree holders entering the workforce immediately.

The debt picture requires careful consideration. At $28,000, graduates carry significantly more than Indiana's median of $16,678 for this program, though the 0.70 debt-to-earnings ratio remains manageable by national standards. For context, this is a private institution where only 23% of students receive Pell grants, suggesting higher sticker prices than community college alternatives. If your child qualifies for substantial aid, this could work; at full freight, Indiana's public options offer better value for similar or even higher starting salaries.

The major caveat: fewer than 30 students provided data here, so individual circumstances vary widely. If University of Evansville is offering generous aid and your child values the private school environment, the earnings justify enrollment. Otherwise, Vincennes or even Ivy Tech delivers comparable outcomes with far less debt burden—a safer bet for most families paying their own way.
