Bible/Biblical Studies at Trinity Baptist College

Trinity Baptist College graduates with Bible/Biblical Studies degrees earn roughly $20,000 one year after graduation—about 40% below the national median for this field and 23% below Florida's state median. While small sample sizes mean individual outcomes vary widely, this program ranks in just the 5th percentile nationally, placing it among the lowest-earning Biblical Studies programs in the country. Even within Florida, where this field already pays modestly, Trinity sits at the 25th percentile. For context, Johnson University Florida's comparable program produces graduates earning $32,000—60% more than Trinity's typical outcome.

The debt burden compounds these concerns. At $26,115, graduates carry slightly above-average debt for this field while earning substantially below-average wages. A debt-to-earnings ratio of 1.30 means the typical graduate owes more than a full year's salary, making standard loan repayment challenging on roughly $1,670 monthly gross income. Many graduates in ministry-focused fields qualify for income-driven repayment plans, but that's essentially acknowledgment that traditional repayment isn't feasible at this earnings level.

For families considering this path, understand that Biblical Studies programs generally lead to modest earnings, but Trinity's outcomes trail significantly behind peer institutions. If ministry work is the goal, the calling matters—but exploring Florida schools with stronger post-graduation results would provide the same education with substantially better financial footing afterward.
