This is a solid option for students drawn to a small Catholic liberal arts experience on Long Island, where the 72% graduation rate and 81% freshman retention suggest most students who start here finish — a decent sign of campus fit and support. The median earnings of $64,100 at 10 years, paired with a relatively modest $24,250 in median debt, point to a reasonable return on investment, especially compared to pricier private schools. Just know the 76% acceptance rate means admissions isn't highly selective, so motivated students should look closely at specific program strengths — particularly nursing and health sciences, where Molloy has a genuine reputation — rather than treating the name itself as a differentiator.
