Pacific Northwest College of Art, Oregon
Like many art schools around the country, Pacific Northwest College of Arts has some fairly steep fees. The average student leaves with a debt of $22,716 upon graduating, while earning an average salary of $27,400 after six years. This not only makes it difficult to pay back the debt, but it also makes it impossible to comfortably live in Oregon.
It has a decent graduation rate of 57,6%, but there are also some graduates who default on their loans, but it’s a fairly low number compared to the cost of living in Oregon and the debt of the degree.
