Outcomes Overview
Master's graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads, earning a median $57,106 ten years post-graduation. The typical monthly loan payment of $217 represents just 4.6% of median earnings, well below the recommended 10% threshold. With median debt at $20,500, graduates face a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.36, better than the national average of 0.50. The university's Christian focus prepares students for ministry, education, and nonprofit work, though these fields traditionally offer lower starting salaries. The 93.3% employment rate demonstrates strong job placement success. Alumni often pursue pastoral roles, Christian education, or graduate seminary studies. Despite modest early-career earnings averaging $38,600, the combination of reasonable debt and strong employment outcomes creates a solid return on investment.
