Outcomes Overview
Taylor graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $20,500 creates monthly payments of $217, representing about 5% of typical starting salaries of $39,248. This debt-to-income ratio sits well below the recommended 10% threshold financial advisors suggest. The 98.1% employment rate reflects strong career preparation, though the $52,198 median earnings after ten years trail many peer institutions. Taylor's Christian mission draws graduates toward ministry, education, and nonprofit work, sectors known for meaningful impact rather than high salaries. The interdenominational focus opens doors across various Christian organizations and churches nationwide. With reasonable debt levels and strong job placement, Taylor delivers an average return on investment for students prioritizing faith-integrated career preparation.
