Outcomes Overview
Warner graduates face modest debt loads but limited earning potential in their early careers. The median debt of $22,250 creates monthly payments of $236, consuming about 7.5% of typical first-year earnings of $37,754. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.59 sits below the concerning 1.0 threshold that financial advisors warn against. However, median earnings after six years reach only $46,086, which lags behind many four-year degree holders nationally. The 91.1% employment rate shows graduates find work, often in education, ministry, and social services given the university's Church of God mission. The combination of reasonable debt with below-average earnings creates a weak return on investment for most students.
