College of Biblical Studies-Houston Outcomes

Graduates earn a median of $39,260 ten years after starting school, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 65%. Monthly loan payments of $271 consume about 8% of typical graduate income. The 38.74% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with debt service. Most graduates enter ministry, nonprofit work, or faith-based organizations where salaries tend toward the lower end of college graduate earnings. The 82.4% employment rate shows strong job placement within Christian service sectors. However, the financial return lags behind the national average for college graduates, who typically earn around $55,000 ten years post-graduation. For those called to ministry work, this represents an average return on investment given the specialized career path and mission-driven nature of the education.
