Analysis

Eastwick College-Nutley's graduates earn $41,444 one year out—roughly $13,000 less than the New Jersey median for allied health programs and a full $24,000 below what nearby Bergen Community College graduates make in the same field. This places the program in just the 5th percentile nationally, meaning 95% of comparable programs produce better outcomes. Even within New Jersey's competitive landscape, it ranks in only the 25th percentile. For context, several NJ community colleges report first-year earnings above $64,000 for this same credential.

The debt picture offers modest relief at $23,930, which is reasonable and slightly above state norms but below the national median. Still, borrowing nearly $24,000 to earn $41,000 creates a debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.58—manageable but not impressive given how much more earning potential exists at peer institutions. The college serves a predominantly Pell-eligible population (64%), which makes affordability considerations even more critical.

For parents weighing options, the comparison to New Jersey's community colleges is stark. If your child can access Bergen, County College of Morris, or even Brookdale, they'd likely earn 50-75% more in their first year with similar or lower debt. Unless Eastwick offers specific advantages like location convenience or flexible scheduling that make earning elsewhere impossible, the data suggests looking at higher-performing alternatives first.
