SECTION 02 · EARNINGS HORIZONS

SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS

What loans cost relative to earnings

Annual debt service as a share of median earnings 10 years after entry, computed under federal Direct loan terms (10-year fixed at 6%). The 8% line is the gainful-employment threshold from federal regulation; above 12% has historically been considered “failing” under prior rule cycles.

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

“Community College of Baltimore County graduates earn $X” — not “Community College of Baltimore County makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Community College of Baltimore County caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
