Stockton University
Public College in Galloway, NJ. Six-year graduation rate 69%. Median 10-year earnings $57,602.
The median ten-year earnings figure of $57,602 sits near the national middle rather than at either extreme. 69% graduate within six years, so most students who start here finish here. Debt at graduation runs to a median of $20,500, neither a bargain nor a burden.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.
- ✓ 3-year loan default 0.0% — below national benchmark
Admissions
Admission is not the constraint here: 89% of applicants are accepted. The applicant pool is large — 10,520 in the most recent cycle — so the published rate reflects genuine competition rather than a small-sample quirk. Yield is low at 16%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. 25% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score. The bands below describe the middle half of that group, not of the class.
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.
| Test | 25th–75th percentile | Submitted |
|---|---|---|
| SAT Evidence-Based Reading | 530–620 | 369 (25%) |
| SAT Math | 500–610 | |
| ACT Composite | 21–25 | 16 (1%) |

A 69% six-year graduation rate is the strongest academic signal on this page. First-year retention is 79% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. Transfer-out runs to 20% — common enough at this school that the completion rate is measuring a smaller group than the entering class. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. Judge these figures against other institutions of the same type — sector explains more of the variation in completion than any single campus factor.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 7,770 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $20,761 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $15,135 while those at $110k+ pay $28,601. 80% of students receive grant aid, averaging $12,347 — common but not automatic. About 50% borrow federally, roughly the national pattern.
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.
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · 1,527 students
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 | $15,135 |
| $30–48k | $14,264 |
| $48–75k | $18,964 |
| $75–110k | $26,140 |
| $110k+ | $28,601 |
