Outcomes Overview
Manna University graduates carry a median debt of $13,450, which translates to monthly payments of $143. This represents about 7% of a typical starting salary, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The debt load sits below the national average of around $30,000 for private college graduates. However, the school's relatively unknown status and small alumni network of just 169 students may limit initial job prospects and starting salaries. Many graduates from small Protestant colleges like this one often enter ministry, education, or social services, fields known for modest but stable pay. While the low debt burden helps, the limited career services and networking opportunities at such a tiny institution create challenges. This represents an average return on investment.
