Analysis

Bryant & Stratton College-Wauwatosa produces first-year earnings that are nearly average nationally but land in just the 25th percentile among Wisconsin programs—a significant gap when you consider that Wisconsin's technical colleges are producing graduates who earn $10,000 to $15,000 more annually. Madison Area Technical College graduates, for instance, start at $43,237 compared to Bryant & Stratton's $28,135. More concerning is the earnings trajectory: rather than gaining ground with experience, graduates see their income drop 13% by year four, falling to $24,539.

The debt picture offers some relief—at $16,467, it's higher than the national median but more manageable than many private programs. Still, borrowing nearly $17,000 to earn $28,000 initially, with declining prospects afterward, creates financial pressure. The program serves a predominantly Pell-eligible population (57%), meaning many students are already economically vulnerable before taking on this debt.

For Wisconsin families, this is a straightforward decision: the state's technical college system consistently delivers stronger outcomes in this field at comparable or lower cost. Unless location constraints make Bryant & Stratton your only practical option, explore MATC, Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, or other Wisconsin technical programs where graduates enjoy both higher starting salaries and better career progression.
