FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedBest Care College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $94,022, above the $36,709 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in New Jersey.
This is one figure for the whole institution, not for any program: earnings differ by credential and field. It covers graduates who completed in 2017-18 and 2018-19, received federal aid, and were working and not enrolled when earnings were measured in 2022 and 2023, in January 2026 dollars. The Department says the notice is informational only: it does not change aid eligibility. Source: U.S. Department of Education, FSA Data Center, March 2026 release.

Frequently asked questions
About Best Care College
Built from CampusPin profile data. Always verify final admissions, cost, financial aid, and program details with the institution before applying. See our data methodology and data dictionary.
- Where is Best Care College located?
- Best Care College is located in East Orange, NJ, in the United States.
- What type of institution is Best Care College?
- Best Care College is a private community college based in NJ. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- Is Best Care College open admission?
- Yes. Best Care College reports an open admission policy to the federal IPEDS survey (IPEDS, admission policy reported in the 2024-25 IC collection), which IPEDS defines as accepting any student who applies.

- How many students attend Best Care College?
- Best Care College reports total enrollment of approximately 44 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- What is the graduation rate at Best Care College?
- Best Care College reports a graduation rate of approximately 64% (IPEDS, Graduation Rates 2024 collection: 4-year cohort 2018, 2-year cohort 2021). This measures the share of a prior entering cohort who completed their degree within the federal tracking window. It reflects who enrolls as much as what the institution does, so it is not on its own a measure of teaching quality, and it is not comparable across institutions serving very different students.
- How much do graduates of Best Care College earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $64,311 for students who received federal financial aid at Best Care College. This reflects the mix of programs the institution offers and the students who enroll, not the effect of attending, and it covers aid recipients rather than all graduates.
- How should I verify final details about Best Care College?
- CampusPin compiles institutional data from public datasets like IPEDS and the College Scorecard, plus institutional websites and editorial review. Before applying, paying a deposit, or making a final decision, confirm admissions requirements, current tuition, financial aid, deadlines, and program details directly with Best Care College.
- How much do Practical Nursing (LPN/LVN) graduates from Best Care College earn?
- Best Care College's certificate graduates in Practical Nursing (LPN/LVN) earned a median $85,297 four years after graduating, 52% above the $56,073 national median for the same program (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). One year after graduating, a later class (2018-20 graduates, measured 2020-21) earned a median $40,687; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $13,304 in federal loans at this college (about $141 a month on a 10-year plan).
- Does Best Care College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, Best Care College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $94,022, above the $36,709 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in New Jersey, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
