Outcomes Overview
SUNY Broome graduates earn a median of $39,710 ten years after leaving, while carrying typical debt loads of $12,000. This creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 30%, well below the concerning 40% threshold. Monthly loan payments of $127 represent only 3.8% of median income, making repayment manageable for most graduates. The college's strong ties to regional healthcare systems, manufacturing, and business services help explain the robust 93.7% employment rate. Many graduates use their associate degrees as stepping stones to four-year programs or enter skilled trades where community college credentials command respect. With low debt burdens and solid earning potential in the Southern Tier's economy, SUNY Broome delivers a strong return on investment.
