What are the graduation rates for students at Albion College?

Albion College's reported six-year graduation rate was 62% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. Its four-year rate was 49%. These rates follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree; they are not completion rates for every transfer, part-time, or returning student.

The four-year figure helps applicants gauge how often students in that cohort finished on the customary schedule. The six-year figure allows more time for completion, but a later finish can mean additional living costs or tuition. Albion also reported a 71% student retention rate, a separate measure of whether students returned after their first year. None of these figures explains why an individual student stayed, left, or took longer to graduate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Albion College?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings one year after completion for graduates included in its federally aided student cohorts and applicable reporting rules. They are not starting-salary offers or predictions for every Albion graduate.

Reported one-year figures include $51,093 for business administration, $47,603 for finance, and $39,973 for economics. Communication and media studies was reported at $33,356, while biology was reported at $26,258. The figures reflect different graduates and career paths; a biology graduate pursuing further education, for example, may be at a different career stage from someone entering full-time work immediately.

Program-level earnings can be affected by cohort size, location, employment, and further study. Students comparing majors should consider the work they hope to do, whether it requires graduate training, and the debt they expect to take on alongside any reported earnings figure.
