FAFSA earnings check

: Not flagged

West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport does not trigger the FAFSA's "lower earnings" notice. Its graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $34,820, above the $32,616 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in West Virginia.

It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.

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 large share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 58 of West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport's 175 students (33%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 73 (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.

How much does West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport actually cost after financial aid?
The average net price at West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport is approximately $15,365 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 $9,808 on average, and those from families earning $110,000 or more about $23,836. 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 West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport?
West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport reports a graduation rate of approximately 52% (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 West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport have?
Students who borrowed at West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport left with a median of approximately $8,270 in federal loans, and about 77% 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 West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport earn?
Median earnings approximately ten years after entry are $27,472 for students who received federal financial aid at West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport. 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 West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport?
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 West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport.

West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport's associate's graduates in Medical Assisting and Allied Health earned a median $33,565 four years after graduating, 21% below the $42,269 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 $25,555; the two figures describe different graduates, not one class's growth. Graduates who borrowed took out a median $7,195 in federal loans at this college (about $76 a month on a 10-year plan), and had $8,764 in total federal debt including other colleges attended (same degree level). The figure is reported for all 2 campuses that share West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport's federal aid ID.
Does West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport get a "lower earnings" warning on the FAFSA?
No. In the Department of Education's March 2026 data, which the FAFSA uses now, West Virginia Junior College-Bridgeport's graduates' median earnings four years after completing were $34,820, above the $32,616 median for high school graduates aged 25 to 34 in West Virginia, so first-year students who list it do not see the lower-earnings notice. The figure describes the whole institution, not any one program. It was flagged in the December 2025 release and came off the list when the Department refreshed the data on 22 March 2026, so news coverage from December may still name it.
