Analysis
New York's competitive international business landscape makes the estimated numbers for Yeshiva particularly challenging. Based on comparable programs in the state, first-year earnings around $48,600 place graduates near the middle of the pack—well behind what students earn from Fordham ($65,131) or Pace ($61,228), and barely ahead of SUNY Farmingdale's outcomes. With an estimated $25,000 in debt, the debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.51 looks manageable on paper, but that calculation assumes earnings that haven't been verified for Yeshiva's actual graduates.
The larger concern is opportunity cost. Students admitted to Yeshiva bring strong credentials (average SAT of 1410), which would likely qualify them for programs with proven track records of substantially higher earnings. CUNY Baruch, for instance, places graduates at $52,290 with lower debt, serving a more economically diverse student body. Whether Yeshiva's unique educational environment—combining business training with its distinctive mission—justifies paying comparable costs for potentially lower returns depends entirely on factors beyond pure earnings data.
Without verified outcomes for this specific program, you're making a significant financial commitment based on projections from peer schools rather than demonstrated results. If international business is the goal, investigate why Yeshiva's data isn't reportable and whether other New York programs might offer more transparent evidence of career outcomes.

Earnings: Median earnings from IRS W-2 data for graduates who are employed and not enrolled in further education, measured 1 year after completion. Earnings are pre-tax and include wages, salaries, and self-employment income.
Debt: Median cumulative federal loan debt at graduation. Does not include private loans or Parent PLUS loans borrowed on behalf of students.
Estimated Earnings: Actual earnings data is not available for this program (typically due to privacy thresholds when fewer than 30 graduates reported earnings). The estimate shown is based on the median of 6 similar programs in NY. Actual outcomes may vary.
