Program Analysis

Graduates earn $31,604/yr, roughly in line with the $33,741 national median for Bible/Biblical Studies. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

A 5.2x earnings multiple over ten years puts this program in solid financial territory. Tuition is well-justified by projected earnings.

The 2% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Bible/Biblical Studies career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

At $25,125 against $31,604/yr in earnings, the debt burden is moderate. Most graduates should manage repayment without extended financial strain.

A #26 ranking among 37 Bible/Biblical Studies programs places Regent University in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

The limited growth from $31,604 to $35,386 over five years suggests earnings in this field plateau relatively early in one's career.
