EMS is committed to comprehensive assessment of both its programs and students. Among the multiple measures of assessment, two of them measure degree completion rate and percentage of graduates who are employed in ministry-related positions. The most recent statistics for these two measures are:
- 76% of students who begin a program at EMS finish that program 1
- 80% of students (2011-2014) are employed in a ministry setting after graduation
