Multi-/Interdisciplinary Studies at Trinity Baptist College

Trinity Baptist's interdisciplinary studies program lands right at the national median for earnings ($35,282), but there's a significant debt problem: graduates carry $21,875 in loans, placing this program in the 89th percentile nationally—meaning 89% of similar programs leave students with less debt. That's particularly concerning when you consider the program ranks in just the 40th percentile among Florida schools, underperforming the state median by about $200 annually despite charging students comparable debt loads.

The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.62 means graduates owe roughly eight months of their first-year salary, which is manageable but not particularly competitive. For context, Hodges University graduates in this field earn nearly double ($60,897), while UCF—a public option—delivers $37,282 with likely lower debt for in-state students. The small sample size here (under 30 graduates) makes these figures less reliable, but the pattern of average earnings combined with above-average debt is clear enough to warrant serious hesitation.

If your child is considering Trinity Baptist specifically for its religious mission or community, understand you're likely paying a premium in debt for below-average Florida outcomes in this particular major. For a purely financial decision, other Florida options—particularly public universities—offer better value in interdisciplinary studies.
