Outcomes Overview
Methodist graduates face a challenging financial reality after completing their degrees. The median debt of $27,000 creates monthly payments of $286, consuming about 7% of typical graduate income. With median earnings of $48,050 ten years post-graduation, the debt-to-income ratio sits at a reasonable 56%. However, the employment rate of 95.5% shows most graduates find work quickly. Many enter criminal justice, business, and sports management fields that Methodist emphasizes. The loan repayment rate of 47% indicates nearly half of borrowers struggle to stay current on payments. Given the modest earnings potential and mixed repayment success, Methodist offers an average return on investment for most students.
