The short answer
Baruch College management science graduates earn about what management science graduates earn nationally, $62,306 in their first year. Where this program stands out is debt. The typical graduate leaves with $9,000 in federal loans, less than at 99% of management science programs in the country. Strong value, but not one of the highest-paying management science degrees in New York.
How it compares
Each figure is the median for graduates of the program. The New York and national columns are the medians across all management science bachelor's programs that report the figure.

Debt and first-year pay at every New York management science program

What graduates earn over time
Pay rises about 56% between the first and fifth year.
Year 1 and year 5 figures come from different graduating classes, so the growth rate is an estimate.
Paying back the loans
On a standard 10-year plan, the median debt means a payment of about $95 a month, or 1.8% of a graduate's typical monthly pay in the first year.
The government publishes these as ranges to protect privacy. They were measured in 2018 to 2020, partly during the pandemic pause on federal loan payments, so the forbearance share may be higher than usual.
Where graduates work, and what the pay is worth
84% of graduates (71 of 85) were working in New York one year after graduating. Prices in the New York area are about 13% above the national average, so a $62,306 salary here buys what about $55,352 buys in a typical US city.

About this data
- Earnings and debt only include students who received federal financial aid (grants or loans).
- Earnings only count graduates who were working and not enrolled in more school. Graduates who went straight to further study are not included.
- Debt only includes federal loans. Private loans and credit cards are not counted.
- Some schools with several campuses report one combined figure for all of them. We count each of those schools once, and leave them out of New York comparisons when their main campus is in another state.
- Scorecard figures describe graduating classes from several years ago. BLS wages are from May 2025.
- School-level numbers like tuition, admission rate, and graduation rate are for the whole school, not the management science program.
