Outcomes Overview
Graduates leave with a median debt of $18,149 and earn $45,399 ten years after graduation. Monthly loan payments of $192 consume about 5% of post-graduation income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 91.6% employment rate reflects strong demand for trained Christian workers in churches, nonprofits, and mission organizations. Many alumni like Billy Graham and Greg Laurie built influential ministry careers that extended far beyond typical salary metrics. While the median earnings lag behind secular college graduates, the debt-to-income ratio of 40% remains manageable for ministry-focused careers. For students committed to Christian service, Moody offers a strong return on investment despite modest earning potential.
