Outcomes Overview
Massachusetts Bay graduates enter the workforce with relatively manageable debt loads. The median debt of $6,500 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 12% against first-year earnings of $52,285. Monthly loan payments of $69 represent only 1.6% of typical graduate income. The college's 90.3% employment rate reflects its focus on in-demand healthcare, business, and technology fields where Massachusetts employers actively recruit. However, the 15.6% six-year graduation rate means many students don't complete their programs. Those who do finish benefit from strong regional job connections and practical training that leads directly to employment. Despite completion challenges, Massachusetts Bay offers a strong return on investment for students who graduate.
