Outcomes Overview
Nearly half of graduates complete their degree within six years, but the financial picture afterward presents challenges. Ten years out, median earnings reach $32,672, while the typical graduate faces substantial debt burdens. With a loan repayment rate of just 20.59%, many struggle to manage payments that can consume 15-20% of monthly income. The college has historically prepared students for careers in ministry, education, and social services through its Christian mission. While 94.1% of graduates find employment, the combination of below-average earnings and high debt loads creates financial strain. Despite strong job placement rates, Southwestern Christian College delivers a weak return on investment for most students.
