Median debt at exit (completers vs non-completers)
Historical student groupsMedian federal student loan debt when students left school, shown separately for those who completed and those who did not.
Each point combines two years. Neighboring points share one year, so changes should be read with that overlap in mind.
These two-year windows closed before today's students borrowed — they describe past cohorts, not the current price of a degree.

Why some charts are marked “key chart”
Start with three useful questions: what costs were reported for families in your income band, how many first-time full-time students finished, and what federal debt borrowers held when leaving.
How The King's University compares
State and national medians cover active bachelor-primary institutions, mixing public and private schools. Tuition uses in-state rates at public schools. These are broad reference points, not a ranking of similar schools or your likely bill.
Scorecard dates identify the release snapshot, not a shared measurement year. Earnings describe federally aided students who were working and not enrolled ten years after entry; cohorts and populations differ from the admissions and tuition figures.
