Outcomes Overview
America Evangelical University's 100% graduation rate suggests strong degree completion, but the financial picture afterward raises concerns. With an average net price of $24,088 and 29% of students taking federal loans, graduates typically carry modest debt loads. The school's specialized religious focus and small size of 71 students likely channels graduates toward ministry, nonprofit work, or faith-based organizations where starting salaries often lag secular careers. Monthly loan payments would consume roughly 8-12% of income for typical ministry positions paying $35,000-45,000 annually. This exceeds the recommended 10% threshold for manageable debt. The university's Wesleyan affiliation provides strong denominational networks, but limited career diversity constrains earning potential. Overall, this represents a weak return on investment despite high graduation rates.
