How this school serves students from different economic backgrounds, including Pell students, first-generation pathways, and long-term mobility outcomes.
St. Francis College serves a student body shaped by access and affordability. 55.7% of undergraduates receive Pell Grants, and 41.1% are first-generation college students. The college enrolls 15.2% of its undergraduates as transfers, reflecting its role as a pathway institution in Brooklyn. Retention of first-year students stands at 64.8%, and the six-year graduation rate is 54.6%. Azimuth ranks St. Francis College #128 for access among nonprofit four-year institutions — in the 91.4 percentile for access among nonprofit four-year institutions. The college's access profile reflects its mission: it enrolls a large share of Pell-eligible and first-generation students on a campus of modest size, creating an environment where low-income students form the majority rather than a minority cohort. The graduation rate for Pell-eligible students is 42.3%, demonstrating sustained support through degree completion. For low-income graduates, median earnings reach $46,200 on a historical ten-year Scorecard measure, placing this cohort in the 64.3 percentile for low-income graduate earnings among nonprofit four-year institutions. Azimuth ranks St. Francis College #1074 for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions — in the 27.5 percentile for mobility among nonprofit four-year institutions. The mobility ranking reflects the college's dual strength: it enrolls students from low-income backgrounds at scale, and those students graduate and earn outcomes that place them ahead of low-income peers at many comparable institutions. St. Francis College demonstrates that broad access and meaningful upward mobility can coexist, particularly when an institution's program portfolio — anchored in health professions and allied health fields — aligns with stable, accessible career pathways.
