Outcomes Overview
BMCC graduates earn a median of $42,306 ten years after enrollment, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 18% with typical debt loads of $7,574. Monthly loan payments of $80 represent only 2.3% of median income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college serves as a stepping stone for students transferring to four-year institutions or entering healthcare support, business administration, and technical fields common in New York's diverse economy. With 85.8% of graduates finding employment and relatively low debt burdens, the financial picture looks manageable. However, the 25.90% six-year graduation rate raises concerns about completion. For students who finish their programs, BMCC offers a strong return on investment.
