Outcomes Overview
Bethany Global University graduates face a mixed financial picture after completing their degrees. With median earnings of $34,269 five years out and typical monthly loan payments of $127, graduates spend about 4.4% of their gross income on student loans. This debt-to-income ratio sits below the recommended 10% threshold, making payments manageable for most. The $12,000 median debt load is lower than the national average of around $30,000. However, the relatively low earnings compared to the $26,130 total cost of attendance creates concerns. Many graduates enter ministry, education, or nonprofit work where salaries tend to be modest but personally fulfilling. The 93.8% employment rate shows graduates find work, but the return on investment remains weak given the earnings potential.
