Marketing at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh

UW-Oshkosh marketing graduates earn $51,607 in their first year—roughly $7,000 above the national median and $5,000 above Wisconsin's typical outcome. That places them in the 81st percentile nationally, competing effectively with programs at schools with far more selective admissions. Within Wisconsin, this ranks 60th percentile, trailing Madison and Marquette but matching outcomes at Eau Claire while costing significantly less in tuition for in-state students.

The debt picture is reasonable: $22,082 puts graduates below both state and national medians, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.43 that most graduates should manage comfortably. For context, that's about $4,000 less debt than the typical Wisconsin marketing graduate carries. The combination of above-average earnings and below-average debt suggests the program delivers solid value, particularly given UW-Oshkosh's accessibility (87% admission rate).

The major caveat here is sample size—fewer than 30 graduates reported data, so individual outcomes could vary more widely than these numbers suggest. That said, the data we have points to a program that punches above its weight: strong first-year earnings at a public university price point, with manageable debt that won't constrain post-graduation choices.
