Outcomes Overview
Baptist University of the Americas graduates face significant financial challenges after college. With median earnings of $37,709 ten years post-graduation, many struggle with debt burdens despite the school's low $7,680 tuition. The 27% six-year graduation rate means most students never complete their degrees, limiting earning potential. Those who do graduate often enter ministry, social work, or nonprofit sectors where salaries typically run below national averages. The school serves a predominantly Hispanic population in San Antonio, where many graduates remain to serve local communities. Employment rates reach 87%, but the combination of low completion rates and modest earnings creates a weak return on investment for most students.
