Outcomes Overview
Berkeley College graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $23,251, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.58 against first-year median earnings of $40,251. Monthly loan payments of $246 consume about 7.3% of typical graduate income, which falls within manageable territory. The college's career-focused programs funnel students into business administration, healthcare support, and information technology roles. With a 93.5% employment rate, graduates find work relatively easily. However, the 36.62% loan repayment rate suggests many struggle with payments despite finding jobs. Earnings grow modestly over time, reaching $45,271 by the five-year mark. The return on investment rates as average, with decent job placement offsetting modest salary growth.
