Program Analysis
Starting salaries of $24,429/yr fall 28% below the $33,741 national median for Bible/Biblical Studies. The financial case depends heavily on whether tuition compensates.
At 6.9x the cost of in-state tuition, the ten-year earnings outlook represents a strong return. Not exceptional, but meaningfully positive.
AI risk is moderate — 48% task exposure — and the -1% scenario spread suggests disruption would dent but not destroy the earnings outlook.
The $22,250 debt-to-$24,429 income ratio translates to about 11 months of earnings. Standard loan terms should handle this comfortably.
At #27 out of 37 programs, Boston Baptist College's financial outcomes for Bible/Biblical Studies trail the majority of peers. The value case depends on other factors.
