Outcomes Overview
Emmanuel graduates face a challenging financial reality after college. The median debt of $24,325 creates monthly payments of $258, consuming about 8% of typical graduate earnings. With median earnings of $38,208 ten years out, the debt-to-income ratio sits at 64%, well above the recommended 40% threshold. The employment rate reaches 96.1%, but only 41.43% of borrowers successfully repay their loans. Many graduates enter ministry, education, and social services fields that align with the school's Christian mission but offer modest salaries. The low graduation rate of 35% compounds the financial risk for students who don't complete their degrees. This represents a weak return on investment.
