Outcomes Overview
Trinity College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $23,250 and monthly loan payments of $246. Their median earnings one year after graduation reach $32,304, meaning loan payments consume about 9% of gross monthly income. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.72 sits near the national average of 0.6-0.8 for small private colleges. Many graduates pursue ministry roles, Christian education, or nonprofit work, which traditionally offer lower starting salaries but meaningful career satisfaction. Employment rates reach 94.9%, suggesting strong job placement despite modest earnings. Given the specialized nature of biblical studies programs and typical ministry compensation levels, Trinity College offers an average return on investment for students committed to faith-based career paths.
