Outcomes Overview
Eastern Mennonite graduates earn a median of $54,869 ten years after graduation, putting them slightly below the national average for four-year college graduates. With median debt of $24,813, their debt-to-earnings ratio sits at a reasonable 45%. Monthly loan payments of $263 consume about 5.8% of their gross monthly income, which falls within financial experts' recommended range of under 10%. Many graduates enter nonprofit work, social services, and education, fields that align with the school's Mennonite values but typically offer lower starting salaries. The 98.2% employment rate shows strong job placement. Given the moderate debt levels and steady employment outcomes, Eastern Mennonite offers an average return on investment for students committed to service-oriented careers.
