Analysis
Le Moyne's marketing program occupies an interesting middle ground: it beats 60% of New York marketing programs despite landing only in the 39th percentile nationally. That gap reveals something importantβNew York's marketing outcomes cluster lower than the national average, with a state median of $42,381 versus $44,728 nationally. Le Moyne graduates start at $43,080 and reach $49,473 by year four, putting them roughly $7,000 ahead of the typical New York marketing grad at that point.
The debt picture strengthens the case considerably. At $27,000, graduates carry about $2,300 more than the national median but still exit with a very manageable 0.63 debt-to-earnings ratio. That's in the 5th percentile nationally for debtβmeaning 95% of marketing programs saddle students with more borrowing. The 15% earnings growth from year one to year four suggests decent career progression, even if the absolute numbers trail top New York programs like Syracuse ($58k) and Fordham ($55k) by substantial margins.
For families considering Le Moyne against other accessible New York options (note the 75% admission rate), this program delivers better-than-typical state outcomes without the debt burden that often comes with private education. You're not getting elite-tier marketing earnings, but you're getting solid middle-of-the-pack performance with notably lighter debt than most alternatives.
