Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $59,986 ten years after leaving, putting their debt-to-earnings ratio at a reasonable 40%. Monthly loan payments of $257 consume about 5% of typical graduate income. The 95.8% employment rate reflects strong job placement in education, healthcare, and ministry fields where Wesleyan graduates traditionally find work. Many enter teaching, nursing, social work, and church leadership roles that prioritize service over high salaries. The $24,250 median debt load stays manageable compared to national averages. While earnings lag behind secular universities, the combination of solid employment prospects, reasonable debt levels, and preparation for stable service careers creates an average return on investment for students committed to faith-based professions.
