Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College

What are the graduation rates for students at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College?

ABAC's reported overall graduation rate is 36%. Its separately reported four-year and six-year rates are 24% and 38%, respectively. These measures need careful reading: they can involve different entering cohorts and reporting definitions, and they do not mean that every student who has not graduated has permanently left college.

The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, meaning that roughly seven in ten students in the measured group returned the following year. Completion statistics are useful for planning, but they do not reveal why an individual student stopped out, transferred, changed attendance intensity, or took longer than expected. A prospective student comparing associate and bachelor's routes should ask for program-specific course maps and completion information where available. Required courses offered only in particular terms can be especially important when estimating time to a degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College?

Federal College Scorecard program figures provide limited snapshots of earnings about one year after completion for graduates included in the measure. Among ABAC fields with reported figures, applied horticulture and related business services shows $40,717; forestry shows $35,706. The reported figure for liberal arts and sciences/general studies is $22,233.

These are program-level earnings measures, not starting-salary offers or promises to future graduates. They describe an eligible group observed at a particular point, rather than every person who completed the program. Graduate study, geography, work hours, prior experience, and the kinds of jobs people take can all affect what the figures capture. One-year earnings are particularly incomplete for students who intend to use an associate degree as a step toward further education. Comparing a program's costs, completion pathway, and likely next credential is more informative than treating any single earnings figure as a forecast.
