What are the graduation rates for students at Albright College?

Albright's reported four-year graduation rate is 42%, while its six-year rate is 51%. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the completion experience of every transfer or part-time student.

The additional nine percentage points at six years show why the measurement period matters when comparing colleges. Albright's reported first-year retention rate is 62%, meaning that roughly six in ten students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation figures identify outcomes, not their causes. An applicant concerned about finishing on time can ask how often required courses are offered and how advising handles a change of major or a missed prerequisite.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Albright College?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings for federally aided Albright graduates about one year after completing a program. They are medians for the graduates included in the measure, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future students.

Among reported fields, the one-year median is $53,392 for accounting and related services, $51,139 for general business or commerce, and $28,398 for general psychology. Those differences should not be read as the effect of the major alone: employment, location, further study, prior experience, and the graduates represented in each program measure can all matter. A one-year figure also misses careers whose earnings develop later.

Albright's career support is a separate consideration from these outcomes. Students exploring jobs or internships should ask the college's career-services staff about appointments, application-material feedback, interview preparation, employer events, and ways to find opportunities in their intended field.
