Outcomes Overview
Berkeley College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $30,426 and earnings of $45,884 after ten years. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 66%, which is manageable compared to many private colleges. Monthly loan payments of $323 consume about 8.5% of typical graduate income. The college's career-focused programs in business, fashion, and health sciences help achieve an 87.9% employment rate. However, the 29.98% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite finding work. Starting salaries average $38,796, reflecting entry-level positions in competitive New York markets. Given the strong employment outcomes but concerning repayment struggles, Berkeley College offers an average return on investment.
