Outcomes Overview
Graduates carry a median debt of $15,750, which represents a reasonable 55% of their first-year earnings of $28,465. Monthly loan payments of $167 consume about 7% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The 44% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle to make consistent payments despite manageable debt levels. As a Seventh-day Adventist institution, the university traditionally prepares students for healthcare, education, and ministry roles within the denomination's network. However, the 62% employment rate lags behind national averages. While tuition costs remain affordable at $8,050, the combination of modest earning potential and below-average job placement rates results in a weak return on investment for most graduates.
