Business Administration, Management and Operations at Monroe University

What the IPEDS & College Scorecard Data Shows for Business Administration, Management and Operations at Monroe University

This page combines two federal data products: IPEDS institutional characteristics for Monroe University and the College Scorecard field-of-study (FOS) file for Business Administration, Management and Operations at the associate's credential level. The FOS file is keyed by CIP (Classification of Instructional Programs) code, which means earnings and debt figures here reflect only graduates of this specific program — not the school as a whole. IPEDS reports 123 completers in the most recent cohort for this program at Monroe University, the denominator behind the median earnings figure.

Median graduate earnings of $39,809 represent Treasury-verified wages approximately one year after program completion, drawn from Social Security Administration records linked to federal financial aid applicants. Compared to the national mean of $45,520 across all institutions offering Business Administration, Management and Operations, graduates here earn below the national average for this program. Across all programs at Monroe University, the mean median-earnings figure is $59,551, providing internal context for whether this specific field out-earns other options at the same institution.

Debt signals complete the ROI picture. The median cumulative federal loan debt for Business Administration, Management and Operations graduates at Monroe University is $14,060, which translates to roughly $117 per month on a standard 10-year repayment plan. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.35 is under the 1.0 threshold the College Scorecard uses to flag favorable gainful-employment outcomes — earnings in year one already exceed cumulative borrowing. Program-level debt and earnings come from the Department of Education’s College Scorecard FOS release, updated annually.
