Andrews University

What are the graduation rates for students at Andrews University?

Andrews University's reported six-year graduation rate is 72% for the relevant first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 53%. These measures follow entering cohorts over different periods; they do not mean that the same students graduated twice.

The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, measuring the share of an eligible entering group that continued into the next academic year. Graduation and retention figures can help applicants compare outcomes, but the standard first-time, full-time graduation measure does not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student. It also does not by itself explain why an individual student leaves or takes longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Andrews University?

Early-career earnings are only one way to assess the possible financial value of an Andrews degree. The relevant College Scorecard measure concerns earnings about one year after completion for the graduates included in its federal-data methodology; it is not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for every student.

Major, occupation, graduate study, location, and time in the workforce can all affect earnings. This is particularly important when comparing a degree that commonly leads directly to employment with one whose graduates often continue into professional or graduate education. Andrews reports career support including counseling, résumé and interview assistance, employer connections, job-search resources, and alumni networking. Those services are opportunities for students to use, not verified employment or salary outcomes.
