Outcomes Overview
Medgar Evers graduates earn a median of $46,498 ten years after graduation, creating a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 24%. Monthly loan payments of $116 represent only 2.4% of typical graduate income, well below the recommended 10% threshold. The college's strong focus on nursing, education, and public administration helps explain the 91.7% employment rate. However, the relatively modest earnings reflect the reality of public service careers that many graduates pursue. With 40% of borrowers successfully repaying their loans and net costs under $6,000 for most students, this represents a strong return on investment for those committed to serving their Brooklyn community.
