Outcomes Overview
Lincoln Christian University graduates earn a median of $43,038 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 47%. Monthly loan payments of $215 consume about 6% of typical graduate income. The 58% six-year graduation rate reflects the challenges many students face completing their degrees. Most graduates enter ministry, nonprofit work, or Christian education fields where salaries tend toward the lower end of the spectrum. The 98% employment rate shows strong job placement, though earnings remain modest. Nearly 40% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating the school serves lower-income families seeking affordable Christian education. For ministry-focused careers, this represents an average return on investment.
