Employment and Earnings Outcomes

2023 07 13_MFA Oil Foundation Grant

In accordance with Act 852 of 2015, this page will identify the employment and earnings outcomes for degrees and certificates offered by BRTC.

The report uses Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (ADWS) and the Arkansas Department of Higher Education (ADHE) data to

  • provide earnings information for Arkansas degree and certificate programs,
  • average student loan debt by degree or certificate program, and
  • employment rates for graduates in the year after they complete their certificate or degree program.

This page is updated annually.

Starting in 2022, Arkansas discontinued the publication of the Arkansas Annual Economic Security Report. In its place, the state launched a more dynamic and accessible online resource, available at https://myardashboard.arkansas.gov/hepg.html. This new website serves as the central hub for up-to-date data and insights related to higher education performance and graduate economic outcomes across the state.
