Human Resources Management and Services at Central Christian College of Kansas

The debt-to-earnings ratio here looks manageable at first glance—$30,736 in estimated debt against roughly $49,000 in first-year earnings—but remember these figures come from peer programs across Kansas, not actual outcomes from Central Christian College. With such a small graduate cohort that the Department of Education can't report actual data, you're making a significant financial commitment based on how other Kansas HR programs typically perform.

Human Resources as a field tends to offer stable, mid-range earnings, and the estimated first-year salary aligns with both state and national medians for this degree. However, two Kansas schools with reported data—Rasmussen and Friends University—show graduates earning $54,500-$56,500, suggesting stronger programs can deliver meaningfully better outcomes. The estimated debt here also runs about $4,000 higher than the national median for HR bachelor's programs, which matters when you're starting a career where raises come incrementally.

For families where 43% of students qualify for Pell grants, that debt load represents real financial pressure. Before committing, get concrete placement data directly from the school: where do their HR graduates actually work, and what do they earn? If the college can't provide verifiable outcomes that match or exceed these state-level estimates, you're betting on unknown odds when clearer alternatives exist elsewhere in Kansas.
