Outcomes Overview
York graduates face a challenging financial reality with median debt of $21,500 against median earnings of $44,130 after ten years. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 49%, well above the recommended 30% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $228 consume about 6% of gross income for typical graduates. The 59% loan repayment rate suggests many alumni struggle with their debt obligations. York's strong ties to the Churches of Christ community often lead graduates into ministry, education, and nonprofit work, fields known for lower starting salaries but meaningful impact. The 97.3% employment rate shows graduates find work, but the earnings data reveals limited financial upward mobility. Overall, York offers a weak return on investment from a purely financial perspective.
