Liberal Arts and Sciences, General Studies and Humanities at University of Indianapolis

University of Indianapolis graduates with this degree earn $43,509 in their first year—significantly above both the national median ($36,340) and Indiana's median ($35,931) for liberal arts programs. The 83rd percentile national ranking is genuinely impressive for a field often criticized for poor earnings. The $31,000 debt load sits below national and state medians, creating a manageable 0.71 debt-to-earnings ratio that borrowers can realistically handle.

What's particularly encouraging here is the 13% earnings growth to nearly $50,000 by year four, suggesting graduates find professional development opportunities rather than hitting a ceiling. Among Indiana's 39 liberal arts programs, this lands at the 60th percentile—respectable if not elite. The program trails Notre Dame and Indiana Wesleyan but competes closely with larger state schools like IU-Indianapolis.

The major caveat: fewer than 30 graduates in this dataset. These numbers could shift substantially with a larger sample, so verify current outcomes before making decisions. Still, the combination of moderate debt, above-average starting pay, and steady growth makes this a reasonable option for students genuinely committed to liberal arts—just understand you're not choosing this path for rapid salary acceleration.
