  • You’ll have a high earning potential.  Similarly-sized private, Iowa liberal arts colleges report starting median salaries of around $42,000 and mid-career median salaries of $72,000 (Source: PayScale.com).
  • The actual cost of Wartburg is considerably less than the “sticker” price.  Don’t believe what other colleges tell you about Wartburg’s costs:  Nearly all students receive some form of financial award or scholarship.
  • You will graduate in four years.  The average for university students is about five years.  If educational budgets are cut at public universities, the length of time to graduation will likely increase. 
  • Direct Interaction with professors.  Small colleges have many big advantages.  The biggest advantage is personal access to your professors.  You will meet your professors in small classes and in on-campus activities.  Plus, your faculty advisor is a Wartburg professor. 
  • Average indebtedness is low. Wartburg students graduate with an average indebtedness of just $500 per year more than the average indebtedness of Iowa public university students.
  • Tighter networking community.  Wartburg College graduates have a stronger network of friends.  It’s all about connections.  Networking always works better when you really know the people in your network.
  • Leadership and service.  Employers value well-rounded graduates.  The Wartburg leadership certificate indicates to potential employers that you will be a leader at work and in your community.
