Adrian College

What are the graduation rates for students at Adrian College?

Adrian College's reported four-year graduation rate is 37%, while its reported six-year rate is 45%. These rates track defined groups of entering students over different periods; they are not a prediction that any particular student will or will not finish.

Another reported overall graduation measure is 48%. Readers should not combine the three figures as though they describe one class measured on the same date. Adrian's reported first-year retention rate is 65%, meaning that roughly two-thirds of the students in the relevant entering group continued into the next academic year under that measure.

Completion data are useful when considering both the likelihood and potential cost of an additional year. A prospective student can make the comparison more personal by asking a department for a sample four-year plan, the frequency of required courses, and the graduation requirements for their intended major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Adrian College?

Field-of-study earnings figures offer a limited view of early outcomes for some Adrian College programs. College Scorecard figures for approximately one year after completion report median earnings of $40,234 in marketing and $39,891 in business administration among the federally aided completers represented in those program records.

Other reported one-year medians include $37,639 for teacher education in specific subject areas, $27,578 for sports and physical education, and $25,882 for general biology. These are program-level, early-career measures, not starting-salary offers, earnings for every graduate, or forecasts of lifetime income. Employment status, further education, location, occupation, and the number of graduates with usable records all affect what a figure can tell a prospective student.

Adrian reports career-support services including individual counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Those services are worth investigating, but their availability is not itself an employment outcome. Students comparing majors should consider placement and graduate-school pathways alongside the earnings figures.
