About this program

Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond awards about 81 marketing bachelor's degrees a year, so you are part of a mid-sized cohort rather than a huge lecture hall or a tiny seminar. The numbers that matter most here are earnings. One year after finishing, graduates of this exact programme earn a median of $31,947, and two years out that figure is $31,374. The national median for the same subject at the same level is $42,012, which puts this programme at 491 of 527 for earnings nationally. Within Louisiana it ranks 10 of 13, and among all programmes at Southeastern it ranks 14 of 29. Those are worth sitting with before you commit. The borrowing side is more encouraging. Median debt at graduation is $21,500, which works out to a typical monthly payment of $228. Compare that with earnings in the low thirties, and the payment is manageable, but the gap between this programme's median earnings and the national figure is the thing to weigh if salary is your priority.

Those who borrowed left with a median federal student debt of $21,500, about $228/mo on a standard ten-year repayment plan.

Figures cover federally aided students only and are published by the US Department of Education in the College Scorecard field-of-study data. Where too few students completed a program, the department withholds the figure for privacy — so some programs show none.
