What are the graduation rates for students at Arlington Baptist University?

Arlington Baptist University's reported six-year graduation rate is 19% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students. Its reported four-year rate is 17%. These figures describe whether students in a defined entering cohort completed within those periods; they are not the graduation probability for every current applicant.

The reported first-year retention rate is 41%, a measure of the share of first-time, full-time students who returned the following fall. Small entering cohorts can make year-to-year percentages fluctuate substantially, so a single year should not be treated as an explanation of why students stayed or left.

Transfer students, part-time students, and students who complete a degree elsewhere are not necessarily represented in the standard first-time, full-time graduation measure. Applicants should ask their intended program for a current course sequence and typical time to completion, particularly if they expect to transfer credits or study part time.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Arlington Baptist University?

Early-career pay is not a reliable stand-alone measure of the value of an Arlington Baptist University degree. One-year earnings figures, when available for a field of study, describe a particular group at a particular point after completion - not a salary promised to an individual graduate.

This distinction matters for ABU's mix of education, business, ministry, and other programs, which can lead to occupations with very different pay structures. Federal earnings measures may also cover only students whose wages can be matched to federal records, and small programs can limit what can be reported. Students comparing majors should look at occupation-specific pay, local hiring requirements, likely graduate-school costs, and licensing rules alongside any college-level earnings statistic.
