Near the Bottom...And Proud of It!

Debt is a reality for many students—but here’s some good news!

In 2010, Northwestern seniors graduated with less student debt than graduates from other Minnesota colleges and universities.

The average debt of Northwestern graduates in 2010 was nearly $3,400 less than graduates from other Minnesota college graduates. Of the 28 Minnesota schools reporting, NWC ranked in the bottom fourth, coming in at 22.
