FARMINGDALE, NY — Farmingdale State College has earned high ranks when it comes to lowest student-loan debt at time of graduation, says LendEDU in its just-published 2020 Student Loan Debt by School by State Report. FSC ranks #2 in SUNY and #4 among public colleges and universities in New York. With an average student-loan debt of $24,531 upon graduation, the college is also listed at #10 among all state schools.

"Farmingdale graduates receive an excellent return on their investment," Farmingdale State College President John S. Nader said in a statement. "Our students graduate with far fewer student loans, while their salary levels are in the very top tier among SUNY institutions. FSC is one of the very best values in higher education, and a leader in affordability. Our continued enrollment growth this fall indicates that news of our success is spreading."

On average, Farmingdale students borrowed $4,500 less than students at other public college and
universities. In addition, FSC graduates first-year earnings exceed the amount of federal student loan debt they carry.
