What are the graduation rates for students at Anna Maria College?

Anna Maria College's reported four-year graduation rate is 36%, while its six-year rate is 46%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students complete after four years, but it should not be read as a prediction for any individual applicant. The college's reported retention rate is 60%, a separate measure of whether first-time students return for the next year. Students comparing offers may want to ask their intended department how often required courses run and what advising is available if they change majors or fall behind a course sequence.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Anna Maria College?

Program-level earnings figures offer a limited view of Anna Maria College alumni outcomes, not a salary forecast. College Scorecard figures reported for one year after completion include $68,142 for registered nursing, $37,339 for business administration and management, and $27,563 for criminal justice and corrections.

These are reported earnings for the relevant measured graduates, not starting salaries promised to all students in those majors. They should not be compared without considering the kinds of jobs graduates enter, whether they continue their education, geographic differences, and the size and composition of each reported group. A one-year figure also says little about earnings later in a career or about the cost of obtaining a degree.
