Worth considering if you're looking to keep costs low while staying close to home — at just $4,586/year after aid and a median debt of only $6,266 at graduation, this is one of the more affordable paths through higher education in New York. That said, median earnings of $35,600 a decade out suggest many graduates end up in modest-paying fields, so think carefully about your transfer or career plan before enrolling. It works best as a stepping stone — especially given its SUNY system connections — rather than a final destination.
