Outcomes Overview
Trinity graduates carry $28,250 in median debt but earn $53,804 ten years after graduation. The debt represents 53% of annual income, which is manageable compared to many private colleges. Monthly loan payments of $299 consume about 6.7% of typical graduate income. The university's focus on education, healthcare, and social work aligns with DC's strong job market in these sectors. However, the 34% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite decent earnings potential. The 95% employment rate shows graduates find work, but earnings growth from $45,688 at one year to $53,804 at ten years is modest. Trinity offers an average return on investment for students seeking careers in service-oriented fields.
