Eastwick College-Nutley
For-profit College in Nutley, NJ. Six-year graduation rate 57%. Median 10-year earnings $42,827.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $42,827 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. The six-year graduation rate is 57%, meaning about two in five students who start do not finish. Median debt at graduation is $11,775, a light load against those earnings. Mobility is where this school separates itself: 2.3% of students move from the bottom income quintile to the top.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ Debt-to-income ratio 0.27 — healthy (below the 0.40 threshold)
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Academics
Completion is middling: 57% finish inside six years. Retention of 71% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. Retention and completion are close, which places the gap between entering and finishing almost entirely in year one. At 14:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. Being a for-profit two-year institution is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 456 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $18,770 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $110k+ bands is narrow ($16,275 versus $23,728), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 70% of students receive grant aid, averaging $8,416 — common but not automatic. 72% of students borrow federally, so debt is the norm rather than the exception.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income
The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
| Family income band | Average net price |
|---|---|
| $0–30k | $16,275 |
| $30–48k | $16,590 |
| $48–75k | $18,531 |
| $75–110k | $19,777 |
| $110k+ | $23,728 |
