Outcomes Overview
Missouri Baptist graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $22,500, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of about 0.48. Monthly loan payments of $239 consume roughly 6% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 95.7% employment rate reflects strong job placement, particularly for nursing and education majors who find ready positions in St. Louis hospitals and school districts. Ten-year median earnings of $46,660 align with expectations for graduates in teaching, healthcare, and business roles. However, the 50.88% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle with consistent payments despite relatively low debt loads. The combination of modest debt, solid employment prospects, and reasonable income potential creates an average return on investment.
