About Green Bay, Wisconsin

Green Bay is a city in Brown County, Wisconsin, United States, and its county seat.

The Meyer Theatre, Tarlton Theatre, and Hotel Northland are on the National Register of Historic Places. The Northland was once the largest hotel in Wisconsin. (Wikipedia)

Does the school pay you to attend?

Grant aid from the school's own funds — the discount off sticker, on top of any federal or state help.

21%

of first-years get a grant from the school

$1,394

average award, among those who get one

Modest institutional aid: 21% of freshmen get a grant from the school, averaging $1,394. Most of what lowers the price here is federal or state money, not the school's own funds.

Blends need-based and merit aid — IPEDS doesn't split the two, so a high number can mean generous merit scholarships, deep need-based aid, or both. Figures cover 739 full-time first-year undergraduates, 2022–23. Source: IPEDS Student Financial Aid.

Is it worth it?

A rough return-on-investment read from what graduates earn versus what they borrow.

Median earnings (10 years): $44,553
Typical debt at graduation: $11,719
Debt vs. one year's pay: 26%
Out-earn a HS grad: 57%

Typical debt would take roughly 2.6 years to repay at about a tenth of median earnings.

Solid value

A reasonable return: earnings comfortably clear the debt over a few years for most students who finish.

Earnings are the College Scorecard median for former students (working, not enrolled) 10 years after entry — not a guarantee, and they vary a lot by major. Debt is the median federal loan balance at graduation.

The pay gap here

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.

Women

$39,721

Men

$50,424

Men out-earn women by $10,703 (27%) a decade out.

Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
