Business Administration, Management and Operations at America Evangelical University

California's business administration landscape reveals stark differences, and America Evangelical University appears positioned near the middle of the pack. Based on data from peer programs across the state, graduates here likely earn around $49,500 in their first year—matching the state median but falling well short of what students at UC Berkeley ($90,000) or USC ($71,600) command right out of college.

The estimated $25,000 debt load tells a more favorable story than the earnings alone might suggest. Similar programs in California typically leave graduates with $21,000 in debt, so this program runs slightly higher but remains manageable. With a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.50, graduates would theoretically need about half their first-year salary to cover their loans—not ideal, but workable compared to programs where debt exceeds annual earnings entirely.

The reality check: with 55% of students receiving Pell grants, America Evangelical serves a population for whom $25,000 in debt carries real weight, even if the ratio looks reasonable on paper. While these estimates from comparable programs suggest a financially survivable path, they can't tell you whether this specific school provides the career services, alumni network, or industry connections that turn median outcomes into better ones. The figures point to a program that won't sink your child financially, but they also show earnings that lag significantly behind California's top-tier business schools.
