Management Sciences and Quantitative Methods at St. John's University-New York

St. John's graduates in this program earn $82,432 one year out—well above both the state median of $56,463 and the national median of $62,069. Among New York schools offering this degree, only NYU surpasses St. John's, putting this program ahead of competitive options like Baruch and Rochester. The relatively modest debt load of $19,500 translates to a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.24, meaning graduates could theoretically pay off their loans in under three months of gross earnings.

That said, the small sample size here—fewer than 30 graduates—means these numbers could shift significantly year to year. A few high earners in finance or tech consulting could be skewing the results upward. Still, the combination of strong earnings and manageable debt suggests this program provides solid career preparation, likely benefiting from St. John's proximity to New York City employers and its business school network.

For families comparing New York options at similar price points, St. John's delivers competitive outcomes without the sticker shock of NYU or the ultra-selective admission requirements of top privates. The 80% admission rate makes this accessible to a broad range of students, and those who complete the program appear well-positioned for quantitative business roles.
