Finance and Financial Management Services at University of Mount Union

Mount Union's finance graduates earn about $10,000 less than the typical Ohio finance major four years out, landing at $68,861 versus the state median of $58,790—though that first-year figure is actually *below* the state standard. Among Ohio's 43 finance programs, this ranks in the 40th percentile, meaning six out of ten comparable programs deliver better outcomes. The gap with top in-state options is substantial: Miami University grads earn over $70,000, and even Ohio State produces outcomes nearly $4,000 higher after four years.

The silver lining here is manageable debt. At $27,000, graduates owe just slightly more than the state median, and with a 0.52 debt-to-earnings ratio, the loan burden stays reasonable—equivalent to about six months of first-year salary. The 34% earnings bump from year one to year four suggests graduates do gain traction in their careers, even if they're starting from a lower base.

The critical caveat: this data comes from fewer than 30 graduates, so one exceptional (or struggling) cohort could skew these numbers significantly. For a family considering Mount Union at $27,000 in debt, you're looking at middle-of-the-pack outcomes in Ohio—adequate if your student has strong ties to the region or specific reasons to attend, but probably not worth premium pricing when Ohio State or Miami offer stronger finance networks and measurably better results.
