Outcomes Overview
Bloomfield graduates earn a median of $45,902 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 58%. Monthly loan payments of $284 consume about 7.4% of typical graduate income. The college's focus on business, criminal justice, and education programs feeds graduates into stable but modestly-paying fields. Only 36% of borrowers successfully repay their loans on schedule. The 93% employment rate shows graduates find work, but earnings lag behind New Jersey's median income of $89,296. Nearly 69% of students receive Pell Grants, indicating the school serves economically disadvantaged populations who benefit from any degree completion. Given the challenging graduation rates and modest earnings outcomes, this represents a weak return on investment for most students.
