Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $33,140 ten years after graduation, which reflects the typical salary range for ministry and nonprofit work. With 34.38% of students taking federal loans and a 56.80% repayment rate, many face challenges managing debt on ministry salaries. Monthly loan payments typically consume 15-20% of a graduate's income, well above the recommended 10%. Most alumni enter pastoral roles, youth ministry, or Christian education positions that prioritize mission over financial compensation. The 94.4% employment rate shows strong job placement in faith-based organizations. However, the significant gap between educational costs and earning potential in religious vocations makes this a weak return on investment from a purely financial perspective.
