Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary

What are the graduation rates for students at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary?

Undergraduate four- and six-year graduation rates are not appropriate measures of Austin Seminary's graduate programs. The usual federal first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort does not describe students pursuing its master's and doctoral degrees.

A more useful comparison is program-specific: ask how long students in the intended degree typically take to finish, whether part-time enrollment is permitted, and how field education or a doctoral project affects the schedule. A student's expected completion time may differ substantially between a professional ministry degree and a degree designed for experienced practitioners.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary?

No single salary figure would fairly represent the range of work Austin Seminary students may pursue. Clergy positions, chaplaincy, nonprofit work, further study, and other roles have different pay structures, and some positions depend on credentials beyond a seminary degree.

When comparing earnings claims, check whether the measure covers all graduates or only those with reported wages, whether it is a median or an average, and how long after completion it was measured. For a practical career estimate, students should compare the compensation and credential requirements of the specific roles and locations they are considering, including the effect of any education debt.
