Outcomes Overview
Saint Rose graduates earn a median of $56,040 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 44% based on the typical $24,749 in student loans. Monthly loan payments of $262 consume about 5.6% of gross income, which sits near the recommended maximum. The college's strong reputation in education and business helps explain the 95.9% employment rate among graduates. Many alumni enter teaching, healthcare administration, and social services fields common to Catholic liberal arts institutions. While earnings lag behind some regional competitors, the relatively modest debt burden and high employment rates create stability for new graduates. This represents an average return on investment with solid job placement but moderate earning potential.
