UTA student loan default rate drops for fourth year in a row
At a time when default rates on federal student loans are rising nationally, the rate at which students and graduates of The University of Texas at Arlington are defaulting on their student loans has dropped for the fourth consecutive year. The UTA rate is 6.1 percent – far below the state and national averages of 10.4 percent and 11.5 percent respectively. “While the national numbers for default are going up, our consistently falling rate is a key indicator of success at UTA and speaks to the efforts of our faculty, advisors and staff to see students through to earning their degrees,”
