What are the graduation rates for students at Ascent College?

Reported graduation measures for Ascent College differ sharply by time frame: the four-year rate is 0%, while the six-year rate and a separately reported overall rate are 100%. These figures should not be interpreted as a promise about an individual student's likelihood or timing of completion.

Graduation-rate measures typically follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students, not every adult learner or transfer student. At a college with 83 enrolled students, a small cohort can also produce large year-to-year swings. The reported rates have varied substantially across recent years, so an applicant should ask which cohort and credential underlie a particular figure, and look at program requirements and expected time to completion alongside it.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ascent College?

A reliable program-level earnings figure is not established for Ascent College's reported fields of study. It would therefore be misleading to assign a typical salary to graduates of its Bible, ministry, missions, worship, or pastoral-counseling programs.

Even when federal earnings measures are published, they describe a defined group of former students at a particular point after enrollment, not a guaranteed outcome for every graduate. Ministry-related work can also differ widely in pay and employment structure. Students comparing programs may find the required credentials, internship experience, and likely occupations more useful than an unsupported salary estimate.
