The short answer
Texas Woman's University marketing graduates earn about what marketing graduates earn nationally, $43,457 in their first year. Where this program stands out is debt. The typical graduate leaves with $17,375 in federal loans, less than at 94% of marketing programs in the country. Strong value, but not one of the highest-paying marketing degrees in Texas.
How it compares
Each figure is the median for graduates of the program. The Texas and national columns are the medians across all marketing bachelor's programs that report the figure.
Five years out, Texas Woman's University graduates earn less than the national figure and about $6,264 less than the Texas median. Several Texas programs with higher debt show higher pay by the five-year mark.
Debt and first-year pay at every Texas marketing program
Programs in the upper left give graduates higher pay for less debt. Dashed lines mark the Texas medians.

What graduates earn over time
Pay rises about 19% between the first and fifth year.
Year 1 and year 5 figures come from different graduating classes, so the growth rate is an estimate.
Does family income change the outcome?
Graduates who received Pell Grants, which go to students from lower-income families, earned $5,582 less in their first year than other graduates. They also borrowed more. Students who expect to rely on grants should weigh this gap.
Paying back the loans
On a standard 10-year plan, the median debt means a payment of about $184 a month, or 5.1% of a graduate's typical monthly pay in the first year.
The government publishes these as ranges to protect privacy. They were measured in 2018 to 2020, partly during the pandemic pause on federal loan payments, so the forbearance share may be higher than usual.
Where graduates work, and what the pay is worth
94% of graduates (44 of 47) were working in Texas one year after graduating. Prices in the Dallas area are about 3% above the national average, so a $43,457 salary here buys what about $42,154 buys in a typical US city.

About this data
- Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid (grants or loans).
- Earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school. Graduates who went straight to further study are not included.
- Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
- Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of Texas comparisons when their main campus is in another state.
- Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago. BLS wages are from May 2025.
- School-level numbers like tuition, admission rate, and graduation rate are for the whole school, not the marketing program.
