Outcomes Overview
Ecclesia graduates carry a median debt of $13,019, well below the national average for private colleges. Monthly loan payments of $138 consume just 4.1% of graduates' median income of $40,650 after ten years. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.32 reflects manageable financial burden for ministry-focused careers. Employment reaches 98%, though many graduates enter lower-paying nonprofit and religious sectors typical of ministry training programs. Loan repayment struggles at 49.43%, indicating some graduates face income challenges despite high employment. The interdenominational focus prepares students for pastoral roles, youth ministry, and Christian nonprofit work where financial rewards often take second place to mission-driven impact. This represents an average return on investment for those committed to ministry careers.
