Business Administration, Management and Operations at Yeshiva University

Yeshiva University's business program quietly outperforms most competitors, with graduates earning $61,312 in their first year—34% above the national median and 45% above New York's typical business graduate. At the 80th percentile statewide, it trails only the top-tier programs while carrying significantly less debt than most. The $22,000 median debt sits below both national and state averages, creating a debt-to-earnings ratio of just 0.36—meaning graduates owe roughly four months of salary, well within manageable territory.

The moderate sample size of 30-100 graduates warrants some caution, but the trajectory remains encouraging. Earnings grow to nearly $66,000 by year four, though this 7% increase suggests early career advancement may plateau faster than at some peer institutions. Still, these graduates enter the workforce ahead of 95% of business programs nationally, which provides substantial cushion even if growth moderates.

For families weighing options, this program delivers strong starting salaries without the debt burden that often accompanies competitive New York business schools. The combination of manageable debt and above-average earnings creates genuine financial flexibility in those critical post-graduation years.
