Outcomes Overview
Trinity Baptist graduates earn a median of $37,275 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 65%. Monthly loan payments of $257 consume about 8% of typical graduate income. The college's 95.2% employment rate shows graduates find work consistently. Many enter ministry, Christian education, and social services careers that prioritize mission over high salaries. The 47% loan repayment rate indicates nearly half of borrowers struggle to keep up with payments. Compared to national averages, Trinity graduates earn less while carrying similar debt loads. The strong employment rate helps, but the financial math presents challenges. This represents a weak return on investment from a purely economic perspective.
