Outcomes Overview
Brookline College-Albuquerque graduates face challenging financial realities despite strong job placement. The employment rate hits 93.6%, reflecting the school's career-focused healthcare and business programs. However, graduates earn a median of $29,576 after ten years, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 32% with typical debt of $9,500. Monthly loan payments of $101 consume about 4% of gross income. The 21% loan repayment rate signals widespread financial stress among alumni. Most graduates enter healthcare support roles, medical assisting, and business administration positions that offer steady work but modest pay. Given the high net price of nearly $40,000 against below-average earnings, this represents a weak return on investment.
