Nitra Rabbinical College
Private College in Chester, NY. Six-year graduation rate 11%. Median 10-year earnings $41,785.
Ten-year median earnings of $41,785 are on the low side, which raises the bar for what this degree needs to cost. Only 11% finish within six years, so roughly nine in ten students leave without the credential they enrolled for.
Earnings: College Scorecard, median ten years after entry across students who received federal aid — completers and non-completers alike.

Academics
A six-year graduation rate of 11% means finishing is closer to the exception than the rule. 82% of full-time first-years return for a second year — a healthy figure. Retention runs well ahead of completion, which means students are not leaving immediately; they are leaving somewhere between the second year and the finish line. A 28% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. At 20:1, class sizes land in the normal range for an undergraduate institution.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 248 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
At $11,148 a year on average after grant aid, cost is low here relative to most undergraduate institutions. Net price varies modestly by income — $10,236 at $0–30k against $15,555 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. 83% of students receive grant aid, averaging $11,287 — common but not automatic.
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.

|---|---|
| $0–30k | $10,236 |
| $30–48k | $10,834 |
| $48–75k | $13,861 |
