About This School
Bryant & Stratton College-Albany is a private nonprofit institution located in Albany, New York with approximately 240 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $12,443 per year. The graduation rate is 29%, and the typical graduate earns $26,600 within 10 years of enrollment.
This school is best suited for adult learners or career-changers who want a small, supportive environment and a focused credential in a specific vocational or business field — the intimate 240-student setting and 100% freshman retention rate suggest students who do enroll feel genuinely supported. That said, the numbers here tell a story families need to take seriously: a 29% graduation rate means most students who start do not finish, and those who do earn a median salary of just $26,600 a decade later, which makes the $21,549 median debt load feel disproportionately heavy. At $12,443 per year in net cost, it's not outrageously expensive, but you'd want to be confident this specific credential has a clear payoff in your local job market before committing. My honest advice is to sit down with a financial aid counselor there, ask pointed questions about job placement rates in your intended field, and seriously compare this against SUNY community colleges in the area, which may offer similar programs at lower cost with stronger outcomes data.
