Outcomes Overview
CCBC graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads that translate to realistic monthly payments. The median debt of $11,528 creates monthly payments of just $122, representing only 3.1% of typical graduate income of $47,951 in the first year after completion. This debt-to-income ratio sits well below the recommended 10% threshold financial advisors suggest. The college's strong ties to Baltimore's healthcare systems and growing biotechnology sector help explain the impressive 91.8% employment rate. Many graduates transfer to four-year institutions or enter allied health fields, where associate degrees command solid starting salaries. The combination of low debt and strong employment outcomes delivers a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
