Outcomes Overview
Trinity graduates face a challenging financial reality after college. The typical graduate earns $46,989 ten years out, while carrying $26,082 in debt. Monthly loan payments of $277 consume about 7% of gross income, slightly above the recommended 5-6% threshold. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 55% exceeds national averages for similar programs. Many graduates enter ministry, nonprofit work, or Christian education where salaries traditionally lag behind secular counterparts. The 56% loan repayment rate suggests nearly half of borrowers struggle with payments. While 93% find employment, the combination of moderate earnings and substantial debt creates financial pressure. Trinity offers weak return on investment despite strong job placement rates.
