Business Administration, Management and Operations at Faith International University

Washington State business programs typically produce first-year earnings around $49,000, which is where Faith International graduates would likely land based on comparable programs. That puts the estimated $25,000 in debt at a manageable ratio of 0.51—meaning roughly half a year's salary to repay what you borrowed. The national benchmark suggests similar debt loads ($26,000), so this estimate aligns with what business graduates typically face.

However, context matters considerably here. Top business programs in Washington—like City University of Seattle at nearly $80,000 or even Western Washington at $53,400—show the range of outcomes within the state. Faith International serves a population where nearly half receive Pell grants, suggesting students from lower-income backgrounds, yet the estimated earnings sit right at the state median. That's neither impressive nor alarming, but it does mean graduates would start in the middle of the pack despite potentially facing more financial constraints.

The practical question is whether this program offers enough distinction to justify the debt. With 37 business programs in Washington alone and minimal public data on Faith International's specific outcomes, you're essentially betting on average results. The debt load won't crush your child, but the program doesn't appear positioned to deliver the earnings premium that would make repayment effortless. Before committing, identify what specific outcomes—placement rates, employer connections, specialized tracks—this program delivers beyond the degree itself.
