What are the graduation rates for students at Allen University?

Allen University's reported six-year graduation rate is 13% for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its reported four-year rate is 7%. These measures track defined groups of entering students over different periods; they are not the percentage of all current students who will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 45%, meaning fewer than half of the students in that measure returned the following fall. These figures warrant attention when estimating how long a degree might take and what additional semesters could cost. They do not, by themselves, explain why students left or show the outcomes of transfer students, who are generally outside the standard first-time graduation cohort.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Allen University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured about one year after completion for some Allen University graduates who received federal aid. The reported figures are $17,432 for biology and $22,477 for business administration. They should not be read as starting-salary offers or as earnings for every graduate of either program.

Federal field-of-study earnings measures describe a particular group of former students with earnings records, rather than a guaranteed outcome. Early earnings can reflect whether someone entered graduate study, worked part time, changed fields, or took a job in a different labor market. Applicants comparing programs should weigh these figures alongside completion outcomes, likely borrowing, career goals, and the availability of field-specific data.
