Outcomes Overview
Valor Christian graduates earn a median of $29,701 five years after graduation, while carrying $15,250 in debt. Monthly loan payments of $162 consume about 6.5% of typical graduate income, which falls below the recommended 10% threshold. The 92.5% employment rate shows most graduates find work quickly. However, the earnings figure sits well below the national average for college graduates. Many Valor alumni enter ministry, education, and social services fields that traditionally offer lower starting salaries but provide meaningful career paths. The college's focus on Christian service often leads graduates toward mission work and nonprofit sectors. Given the modest debt burden but below-average earnings potential, Valor offers an average return on investment.
