Outcomes Overview
MidAmerica Nazarene graduates earn a median of $62,972 ten years after graduation. With typical debt of $15,000 and monthly payments of $159, graduates spend just 3% of their income on loan payments. The loan repayment rate of 69% suggests some graduates struggle with payments despite relatively low debt loads. An impressive 98% employment rate indicates strong job placement, though this likely includes positions across various salary ranges. Many graduates enter ministry, education, and healthcare fields that align with the university's Christian mission. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 24% represents a reasonable financial burden. Given the low debt levels and strong employment outcomes, this represents an average return on investment for students seeking faith-integrated education.
