Allegheny Wesleyan College Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $37,453 ten years after leaving, while the 94.4% employment rate shows strong job placement. Most students enter ministry, Christian education, or nonprofit work where salaries tend to be lower than secular fields. The debt-to-earnings ratio sits around 18% assuming typical borrowing, which translates to roughly $270 monthly payments on a $37,000 salary. This represents about 9% of gross monthly income, below the recommended 10% threshold. The $11,600 total cost of attendance keeps debt manageable compared to most private colleges. However, the 40% four-year graduation rate means many students pay for additional years without earning. For students called to ministry work, this represents an average return on investment given the affordable tuition and strong employment outcomes.
