Insurance at St. John's University-New York

St. John's Insurance program graduates earn $70,752 in their first year—nearly $15,000 above the national median and ranking in the 95th percentile nationally. That's exceptional performance for a program at a school with an 80% acceptance rate. The earnings trajectory looks solid too, climbing 21% to $85,642 by year four. With just under $25,000 in debt, graduates face a manageable 0.34 debt-to-earnings ratio, meaning they're borrowing less than five months of income.

The state context tells an interesting story. New York has only four schools offering insurance bachelor's degrees, and St. John's sits right at the state median for both earnings and debt. This isn't a weakness—it reflects how competitive the New York insurance market is. That 60th percentile state ranking would be unremarkable in most fields, but here it means your child is entering one of the country's strongest regional markets for insurance careers, likely benefiting from proximity to major insurance companies and financial services firms concentrated in the New York metro area.

For a student interested in insurance, this program offers a rare combination: strong national standing, access to a high-paying regional market, and reasonable debt. The moderate sample size suggests consistent placement rather than outlier results.
