A note about data averages and medians: While the data are informative, Indiana college graduates will experience a wide range of employment opportunities, earnings and related returns based on program selection, academic performance, career planning and other factors. Similarly, student eligibility for financial aid, student decisions that impact time to degree completion and student debt load will cause total college costs to differ by individual.
