Outcomes Overview
Plaza College graduates enter careers in healthcare, business, and technology fields with a median debt of $20,751 and starting earnings of $35,773. The debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.58 is reasonable for a career-focused college. Monthly loan payments of $220 consume about 7% of typical graduate income, which is manageable. The 89.7% employment rate reflects strong industry connections in Queens and Manhattan's job markets. However, the 30.6% loan repayment rate suggests many graduates struggle with payments despite finding work. Ten-year median earnings of $31,519 lag behind the debt load, indicating limited salary growth in target fields. Plaza offers average return on investment for students seeking quick entry into stable careers.
