Marketing at University of Mount Union

Mount Union's marketing program graduates start at $49,025—already beating the national median by 10%—then see strong momentum with earnings jumping to $63,154 by year four. That 29% growth trajectory outpaces typical marketing careers and pushes four-year earnings well above Ohio's median of $47,602. Among Ohio's 51 marketing programs, this ranks solidly in the 60th percentile, trailing flagship schools like Ohio State but delivering comparable outcomes to many larger public universities.

The debt picture strengthens the value case considerably. At $26,841, graduates carry manageable debt that represents just 55% of first-year earnings—meaning most could feasibly pay it off within two years. This debt level sits in the 13th percentile nationally, meaning 87% of marketing programs leave students with more debt. For context, this is notably lower than what students at Miami University or Ohio State typically shoulder, while achieving earnings that narrow significantly by year four.

The combination works: your child would graduate with less debt than most marketing majors nationwide while earning more than 70% of them right out of the gate. The upward earnings trajectory suggests graduates are landing roles with genuine advancement potential rather than hitting an early ceiling. For families concerned about marketing's reputation as a financially uncertain major, Mount Union's data tells a different story.
