Graduates leave with a median debt of $25,000, translating to $265 monthly payments. With median earnings hitting $51,540 ten years out, that's a manageable debt load for a liberal arts degree. The 59% loan repayment rate suggests some graduates struggle, though 97% find employment. Only 42% of students receive need-based aid, reflecting the school's middle-class appeal.
First-generation college students from Massachusetts families earning under $75,000 get the strongest value proposition here. The combination of low net costs and strong nursing program outcomes makes this a practical choice for local families seeking a Catholic education.
