Outcomes Overview
Bryan College graduates face a mixed financial picture after earning their degrees. With median debt of $23,000 and median earnings of $54,434 ten years out, graduates carry a debt-to-earnings ratio of about 42%, which is reasonable by today's standards. Monthly loan payments of $244 represent about 5% of typical graduate income, a manageable burden. The 68.92% loan repayment rate suggests most graduates can handle their obligations, though this trails the national average. Many Bryan graduates enter ministry, education, and nonprofit work, fields that often pay less but align with the college's Christian mission. The employment rate of 94.5% shows strong job placement, but the relatively modest starting salary of $38,617 reflects the career paths graduates choose. Overall, this represents an average return on investment.
