Outcomes Overview
CSI graduates enter the workforce with a median debt of $14,350, creating a manageable debt-to-income ratio of 27% based on ten-year median earnings of $53,501. Monthly loan payments of $152 consume just 3.4% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's location on Staten Island positions graduates for New York City's job market without Manhattan's living costs. Nearly half of all students receive Pell Grants, meaning many come from lower-income backgrounds and see meaningful economic mobility. The 90.4% employment rate demonstrates solid job placement, though the relatively low loan repayment rate of 48.96% suggests some graduates struggle financially. Overall, CSI delivers a strong return on investment for budget-conscious students.
