Outcomes Overview
Mount Saint Vincent graduates earn a median of $65,756 ten years after graduation, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of 38% with typical debt loads of $25,000. Monthly loan payments of $265 consume about 5% of gross income, which sits below the recommended 10% threshold. The school's focus on nursing and education helps explain the solid employment rate of 95.7%, as these fields offer stable career paths despite modest starting salaries. Many graduates enter healthcare systems in the New York metro area or pursue teaching positions in local school districts. The 54.85% loan repayment rate reflects some financial challenges, but the combination of manageable debt and steady employment prospects delivers an average return on investment.
