Program Analysis

Graduates earn $55,997/yr, roughly in line with the $53,724 national median for Accounting and Related Services. The value proposition here depends on cost, not earnings.

A 5.3x earnings multiple over ten years puts this program in solid financial territory. Tuition is well-justified by projected earnings.

The 14% difference between AI scenarios reflects partial automation exposure. Some Accounting and Related Services career paths face displacement, but others in the field are more insulated.

With first-year pay of $55,997 far exceeding the $19,500 median debt, the payback timeline is measured in months, not years.

A #477 ranking among 714 Accounting and Related Services programs places Grace College and Theological Seminary in the lower half. Price, proximity, and personal fit become the stronger arguments.

A 23% earnings increase from $55,997 to $68,991 over five years is solid — not a moonshot, but evidence of normal career advancement.
