Outcomes Overview
Grace Christian University graduates earn a median salary of $41,663 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 59%. Monthly loan payments of $258 consume about 7.4% of typical graduate income, slightly above the recommended 5-6% threshold. The 89% employment rate shows strong job placement, though many graduates enter ministry, social services, and education fields that traditionally offer lower starting salaries. The median debt load of $24,375 remains manageable compared to national averages. However, the relatively modest earnings growth from $34,910 at one year to $41,663 at ten years suggests limited income advancement potential. For students committed to Christian service careers, this represents an average return on investment.
