Outcomes Overview
Concordia Texas graduates earn a median salary of $60,883 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 36% based on the typical $21,852 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $232 consume about 4.6% of gross monthly income, which falls below the recommended 10% threshold. The 96.8% employment rate suggests strong job placement success. Many graduates enter education, social services, and business fields that align with the university's Lutheran mission and liberal arts focus. The relatively modest debt load combined with solid earning potential in Texas's robust job market creates an average return on investment, though the 40.5% six-year graduation rate indicates completion challenges for some students.
