Outcomes Overview
Paul Quinn graduates earn a median of $29,288 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-income ratio of 80% with typical debt loads of $23,373. Monthly loan payments of $248 consume about 10% of gross income, which is manageable but tight. The college's focus on urban agriculture and work-study programs helps students build practical skills, though many graduates enter service industries and nonprofit work that offer lower starting salaries. The 20.50% loan repayment rate indicates financial struggles for many alumni. While the college's modern approach to education and strong community connections provide value beyond dollars, the combination of modest earnings and significant debt burden represents a weak return on investment.
