Outcomes Overview
Boston Baptist College graduates face significant financial challenges after completing their degrees. The median earnings of $34,159 ten years post-graduation create a concerning debt-to-earnings ratio for those who borrowed money. Federal loan borrowers carry monthly payments that consume roughly 15-20% of their typical income, well above the recommended 10% threshold. Only 66% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The college's focus on ministry and Christian service often leads graduates into nonprofit or religious careers that prioritize mission over salary. While 95.5% of graduates find employment, the combination of modest earnings and substantial debt burden creates a weak return on investment for most students.
