Gainful Employment

New regulations implemented by the United States Department of Education require public and non-profit institutions that participate in federal financial aid programs to report certain information about their non-degree educational programs that lead to gainful employment in a recognized occupation. For the College of Saint Rose, the new regulations pertain to students enrolled in our undergraduate certificate and graduate advanced certificate programs.

The information presented here on total program costs, median loan debt, job placement rates and other consumer information is intended to help our certificate students make informed choices about the educational programs they pursue.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
