Outcomes Overview

Graduates earn a median of $40,421 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 46% based on the typical $18,534 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $196 consume about 5.8% of graduates' income, which falls below the recommended 10% threshold. The 93.2% employment rate suggests strong job placement, though earnings lag behind the national average for college graduates. Many alumni enter ministry, education, and social services careers that align with the university's Christian mission but typically offer modest salaries. Despite reasonable debt levels, the below-average earnings potential makes this a weak return on investment for students prioritizing financial outcomes over faith-based education.
