Rabbinical College
Private College in Brooklyn, NY. Six-year graduation rate 33%. Median 10-year earnings $41,527.
Median earnings ten years after entry come to $41,527, below what most undergraduate institutions return — the central fact to weigh against cost here. The six-year graduation rate is 33% — low enough that finishing cannot be treated as the default outcome.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ! Graduation rate 33% — below national average
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 100% of applicants are accepted. Only 35 students applied, so treat these rates as directional — small pools swing sharply between cycles. 71% of admitted students actually enroll, which is a high yield by national standards.
Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)
These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Academics
Only 33% finish within six years, so roughly two in three students leave without the credential. Retention of 76% means a meaningful slice of each entering class does not return. That gap between coming back and finishing is where this school loses people — after the first year, not during it. The 48% transfer-out rate is high enough that a large share of this school's students are really passing through. The 13:1 student-faculty ratio is small enough that seminar-sized classes are the norm.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 127 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Students pay an average of $16,386 annually once grants are applied. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($16,464 versus $16,553), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. Grant aid is widespread — 94% of students receive it, averaging $13,444.
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 | $16,464 |
| $30–48k | $16,553 |
| $48–75k | $16,553 |
