Outcomes Overview
Queensborough graduates enter the workforce with manageable debt loads averaging $8,600. Monthly loan payments of $91 represent just 2.5% of the median $44,214 salary earned ten years post-graduation. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.19 is well below the recommended 1.0 threshold. The college's career programs feed into Queens' diverse economy, from healthcare and business to hospitality and public service. An 82% employment rate reflects the practical nature of the curriculum. However, the 23% six-year graduation rate means many students take longer to complete their programs or transfer elsewhere. Despite completion challenges, those who finish benefit from affordable tuition and strong job placement in the New York metro area. This represents an average return on investment.
