Outcomes Overview
Fresno Pacific graduates earn a median of $58,896 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of 39% with typical student debt of $23,146. Monthly loan payments of $245 consume about 5% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's strong ties to education and social work mean many graduates enter public service careers with steady but modest starting salaries. An impressive 93.8% employment rate shows employers value FPU degrees. While earnings lag behind some California universities, the combination of reasonable debt levels, high employment rates, and meaningful career preparation in service-oriented fields creates an average return on investment for students committed to purpose-driven work.
