How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
Cuny New York City College of Technology serves a student body defined by economic diversity and first-generation ambition. Among enrolled undergraduates, 55.1% receive Pell Grants and 51.2% are first-generation college students — figures that place the college among the most accessible institutions in the Azimuth coverage set. Transfer enrollment is substantial at 31.9%, reflecting the college's role as a destination for students moving through community college pathways or returning to complete a degree. Azimuth ranks Cuny New York City College of Technology #63 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. For students who enroll, the graduation rate and retention figures tell a story of meaningful but uneven progress. Retention stands at 64.9% and the six-year graduation rate is 21.5%, with 23.5% of Pell-eligible students completing within that window. Azimuth ranks Cuny New York City College of Technology #91 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. Median earnings for low-income graduates are $43,100 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 51.5 percentile for low-income graduate median earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. As Azimuth's analysis of access versus outcomes notes, the mobility ranking reflects both the volume of students served from low-income backgrounds and the earnings gains those students achieve — a combination that defines Cuny New York City College of Technology's role as a broad-access institution with real upward-mobility reach in the Brooklyn and greater New York City labor market.
