Outcomes Overview
Arizona Christian graduates earn a median salary of $51,612 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 45% based on the typical $23,000 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $244 consume about 5.7% of gross income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The 97.8% employment rate suggests strong job placement, though the university's focus on ministry, education, and business means many graduates enter service-oriented fields with modest starting salaries. The $37,322 median earnings one year after graduation reflect this reality. While tuition runs nearly $35,000 annually, the combination of reasonable debt levels, high employment rates, and steady long-term earnings growth points to an average return on investment for students committed to faith-based career paths.
