Outcomes Overview
Reinhardt graduates earn a median of $46,541 ten years after graduation, putting them at a debt-to-earnings ratio of 51%. Monthly loan payments of $253 consume about 6.5% of typical graduate income. The university's strong ties to education and music often lead graduates into teaching, church ministry, and arts administration careers. Only 49% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The 94% employment rate shows graduates find work, but earnings lag behind the national median for college graduates. Many alumni stay in Georgia's smaller communities where cost of living helps stretch modest salaries. This represents a weak return on investment given the substantial debt load relative to earning potential.
