Outcomes Overview
Hannibal-LaGrange graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $18,599, well below national averages for private universities. Monthly loan payments of $197 consume about 5.5% of typical graduate income, based on median earnings of $42,643 ten years out. The 97.8% employment rate reflects strong job placement, though earnings growth appears modest compared to initial expectations. Many graduates pursue careers in education, ministry, and social services, fields that align with the university's Christian mission but typically offer lower starting salaries. The debt-to-income ratio of 0.44 is reasonable, but the limited earnings trajectory suggests an average return on investment for most students.
