Outcomes Overview
Graduates face significant financial challenges with median earnings of $23,536 and typical debt of $12,050. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 51% exceeds recommended levels of 10-15% for sustainable repayment. Monthly loan payments of $128 consume about 6.5% of gross monthly income. The 65.8% employment rate lags behind national averages for college graduates. Most alumni enter ministry positions at small churches or nonprofit organizations, where compensation tends to be modest. Seminary graduates traditionally accept lower salaries for mission-driven work, but the earning potential remains limited even with experience. The combination of below-average earnings and moderate debt levels creates a weak return on investment for most students.
