Outcomes Overview
Presbyterian College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt load of $26,000 and earn $60,194 ten years after graduation. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.43 falls below the recommended 1.0 threshold for manageable student loans. Monthly payments of $276 represent just 5.5% of typical graduate income, well under financial advisors' recommended 10% ceiling. The school's 96.6% employment rate reflects strong career services and alumni networks in the Southeast. Many graduates pursue careers in business, education, and healthcare, fields where Presbyterian's liberal arts foundation provides solid preparation. The relatively low debt burden combined with respectable earnings creates a strong return on investment for this small college experience.
