*The reported debt load for LMU-DCOM graduates decreased significantly in 2021 due to a change in how graduate indebtedness is calculated. Starting with the class of 2021, LMU-DCOM is reporting only the total amount of money borrowed (on average) per student while attending DCOM. This new calculation aligns with standard osteopathic medical school reporting.
