Outcomes Overview
Life Pacific graduates earn a median of $43,299 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 52%. Monthly loan payments of $237 consume about 7% of typical graduate income, which is manageable compared to national averages. The university's Christian focus traditionally steers graduates toward ministry, nonprofit work, and education careers that prioritize service over high salaries. With 94% of graduates finding employment, job placement is strong even if earnings remain modest. The 52% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle financially post-graduation. Given the specialized mission-driven career paths and reasonable debt burden relative to income, Life Pacific offers an average return on investment for students committed to faith-based service careers.
