FAFSA earnings check
: Not flaggedCUNY Bronx Community College does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $47,449, above the $33,962 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in New York.
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.

Academics
Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 646 of CUNY Bronx Community College's 6,465 students (10%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 2,733 (42%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.

Frequently asked questions
About CUNY Bronx Community 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 CUNY Bronx Community College located?
- CUNY Bronx Community College is located in Bronx, NY, in the United States.
- What type of institution is CUNY Bronx Community College?
- CUNY Bronx Community College is a public community college based in NY. CampusPin classifies institutions as either four-year universities or two-year community colleges, with control labeled public or private.
- Is CUNY Bronx Community College open admission?
- Yes. CUNY Bronx Community 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. Individual programs, often nursing and other health programs, can still set their own entry requirements, so check the program you want with the college.
- What is the tuition at CUNY Bronx Community College?
- CUNY Bronx Community College's published in-state tuition is approximately $5,206 per year (IPEDS, charges for academic year 2024-25). This is the published price before financial aid; the net price most students actually pay is typically lower. Verify the current academic-year tuition with the institution before applying.
- How many students attend CUNY Bronx Community College?
- CUNY Bronx Community College reports total enrollment of approximately 6,787 students (undergraduate plus graduate) (IPEDS, fall 2024 enrollment). Total enrollment is a useful sizing signal, see the institutional profile for additional breakdowns when available.
- How much does CUNY Bronx Community College actually cost after financial aid?
- The average net price at CUNY Bronx Community College is approximately $4,462 per year. Net price is the total cost of attendance minus grants and scholarships that never have to be repaid, so it is what students actually paid rather than the published sticker price. What families pay varies with income: students from families earning under $30,000 paid about $3,667 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $10,195. These are averages for students who received federal aid in a prior cohort, not a quote for any individual family. Run the institution's own Net Price Calculator for a figure specific to you.
- What is the graduation rate at CUNY Bronx Community College?
- CUNY Bronx Community College reports a graduation rate of approximately 16% (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 student debt do graduates of CUNY Bronx Community College have?
- Students who borrowed at CUNY Bronx Community College left with a median of approximately $8,384 in federal loans, and about 5% of students took federal loans at all. Both numbers matter: a median describes only the students who borrowed, so it reads very differently at a school where most students borrow than at one where few do. Federal loans only, so private and parent borrowing are not included.
- How much do graduates of CUNY Bronx Community College earn?
- Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $41,307 for students who received federal financial aid at CUNY Bronx Community 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 CUNY Bronx Community 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 CUNY Bronx Community College.
- How much do Liberal Arts and General Studies graduates from CUNY Bronx Community College earn?
- CUNY Bronx Community College's associate's graduates in Liberal Arts and General Studies earned a median $40,896 four years after graduating, 7% below the $44,125 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 $26,251; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $6,562 in federal loans at this college (about $70 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $7,000 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- How much do Criminal Justice graduates from CUNY Bronx Community College earn?
- CUNY Bronx Community College's associate's graduates in Criminal Justice earned a median $43,525 four years after graduating, 7% below the $46,706 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 $28,940; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $7,245 in federal loans at this college (about $77 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $6,021 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level).
- Which programs at CUNY Bronx Community College have the highest graduate earnings?
- Among the 13 programs at CUNY Bronx Community College with a federal earnings figure from at least 30 graduates, the highest medians four years after graduating were Allied Health (diagnostic and treatment), associate's ($100,751); Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technologies/Technicians, associate's ($67,233); and Community Organization and Advocacy, associate's ($58,739) (2017-19 graduates, measured 2022-23, College Scorecard). That order is one federal measure, not a ranking of program quality: earnings reflect the field and where graduates go to work as well as the program.
- Does CUNY Bronx Community College get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
- No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, CUNY Bronx Community College's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $47,449, above the $33,962 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in New York, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program.
