Outcomes Overview
Grace graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $19,500 creates monthly payments of $207, consuming about 5.5% of typical graduate income. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.43 sits well below the concerning 1.0 threshold that financial experts warn against. The employment rate of 97.2% reflects strong job placement, though median earnings of $45,411 after ten years trail national averages for college graduates. Many alumni pursue ministry, education, and nonprofit work through the school's strong Brethren Church connections. Others enter business and healthcare fields where Grace has developed solid regional recognition. The combination of low debt and high employment rates creates a strong return on investment for students committed to faith-based careers.
