Outcomes Overview
Nassau graduates earn a median of $48,248 ten years after enrollment, while carrying typical debt loads of $10,500. This creates a manageable debt-to-earnings ratio of just 22%, well below the concerning 30% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $111 represent only 2.8% of median income, leaving plenty of room for other expenses. The 88.7% employment rate reflects strong job placement in the Long Island economy. Many graduates transfer to four-year schools or enter healthcare, business, and technical fields that value associate degrees. Despite the modest 23.4% graduation rate, completers see solid financial returns. For students seeking affordable career preparation or transfer pathways, Nassau offers a strong return on investment.
