Outcomes Overview
Crown College graduates face a modest but manageable debt load, with median debt of $22,500 leading to monthly payments of $239. With median earnings of $48,057 ten years after graduation, the debt-to-income ratio sits at 47%, which is reasonable for a small Christian college. The $239 monthly payment takes about 6% of gross income, leaving room for other expenses. The 95.1% employment rate shows graduates find work, though the earnings lag behind larger universities. Many Crown graduates enter ministry, education, and social services, fields that align with the college's mission but tend to pay less than business or tech careers. This represents an average return on investment.
