Outcomes Overview
Judson graduates earn a median of $56,313 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 44% based on the typical $25,000 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $265 consume about 5.6% of graduates' income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The university's Baptist foundation and strong education programs traditionally feed graduates into teaching, ministry, and social services careers. With a 96.9% employment rate, nearly all graduates find work after completing their degrees. However, the 53% graduation rate means many students don't finish their programs. Despite reasonable debt levels and solid employment outcomes, the combination of moderate earnings and significant completion challenges creates an average return on investment.
