Pacific Rim Christian University Outcomes

Pacific Rim Christian University graduates face challenging financial realities despite strong employment outcomes. With 100% of graduates finding work, the school delivers on job placement. However, median earnings of $40,523 ten years after graduation create a problematic debt-to-income scenario. Students borrowing the full cost of attendance would face monthly payments consuming roughly 15-20% of their gross income, well above the recommended 10% threshold. The university's Christian focus typically channels graduates toward ministry, education, and nonprofit sectors, which offer meaningful work but lower compensation. Given the high debt burden relative to earning potential and the modest institutional grant aid of just $2,134, Pacific Rim presents a weak return on investment despite its employment success.
