Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $39,556 ten years after leaving, which reflects the ministry-focused career paths most pursue. With total costs around $22,300, the debt-to-earnings ratio stays manageable for those entering pastoral or missionary work. Only 12.73% of students take federal loans, suggesting many pay out of pocket or receive church support. The 52.38% loan repayment rate indicates some struggle with typical ministry salaries. Most graduates enter pastoral positions, church administration, or missionary work where compensation varies widely by denomination and location. These careers prioritize calling over income. For students committed to Baptist ministry, this represents an average return on investment given the specialized training and lower earning potential of religious vocations.
