Gainful Employment Metrics

Gainful Employment Metrics are measures used by educational institutions to assess how well their programs prepare students for careers. These metrics evaluate factors like average student debt, graduation rates, and employment outcomes to determine if graduates are able to find jobs that cover their educational costs. The goal is to ensure that students are making informed choices and that programs provide value, helping prospective students understand the financial viability of their education before enrolling. These standards promote transparency and accountability in higher education, encouraging institutions to focus on successful graduate employment and manageable debt levels.
