You might be wondering whether getting a college degree is still worth it. UC has just released new data, and the numbers are clear: A UC degree pays off with higher earnings that grow over time, and UC graduates enter the workforce with greater financial flexibility due to no or low debt.

By the numbers  

• UC bachelor’s degree-holders have higher earnings when compared to the median for bachelor’s degree-holders in California.
• 63% of UC’s California undergrads finish their degrees with ZERO student loans.
• In-state students who do take loans average $17,300 in debt at graduation — that’s $11,400 less than 10 years ago, and $10,000 less than the national average for public universities.
• The majority of UC’s low-income undergrads earn more than their parents within 3 years of graduation.
