Outcomes Overview
Jarvis Christian graduates face significant financial challenges after leaving campus. With median debt of $27,000 and median earnings of $32,992 ten years out, the debt-to-earnings ratio reaches 82%. Monthly loan payments of $286 consume about 10% of typical graduate income, well above the recommended 8% threshold. The college's historically black identity opens doors in education and social services, where many alumni build careers serving their communities. However, the 17.49% loan repayment rate signals widespread struggle with debt obligations. Despite strong employment at 95.6%, the combination of modest earnings and substantial debt burden creates a weak return on investment for most students.
