The Scores are out & Gustavus is Well-Above Average.

Gustavus Campus - Old Main and The Chapel

In February 2013, the U.S. Department of Education released the first interactive College Scorecard and it was a big deal.  Why was it a big deal?  The College Scorecard provides students and families the critical information they need to make educated decisions about their college choice.  The information these scorecards provide highlight key indicators about the cost, quality and value of institutions across the country.  Offering information regarding location, size, campus setting, degree and major programs, cost, graduation rate, load default rate, average amount borrowed, employment and salary after graduation help prospective students find schools that are well-suited to meet their educational and career criteria as well as their financial needs.

In nut shell, the Gustavus scorecard is awesome.  Here are some of the scores from the scorecard:
We are above average for salary after attending Gustavus at $50,100 where the national average is
$34,343.  Plus, we are well above average for graduation rate with Gustavus at 83% and the national average at 44%.
