Outcomes Overview
Graduates earn a median of $46,861 ten years after leaving Middlesex College. Their typical debt load of $9,750 represents just 21% of annual earnings, well below the recommended 10% threshold for monthly payments. Monthly loan payments of $103 consume about 2.6% of gross income for median earners. The 89.4% employment rate reflects strong job placement in healthcare, business, and technical fields that dominate central New Jersey's economy. Many graduates use Middlesex as a stepping stone to four-year universities, avoiding the higher debt loads of traditional colleges. With low debt relative to earnings and solid employment outcomes, this represents a strong return on investment for career-focused students.
