What are the graduation rates for students at Averett University?

Averett's reported six-year graduation rate is 48% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students. Its four-year rate is 33%. These figures describe how earlier entering cohorts progressed; they are not a prediction for any individual applicant.

The reported first-year retention rate is 65%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the students in that measure returned for the following fall. Completion measures for first-time, full-time entrants do not describe every transfer, part-time, or adult student. When comparing programs, applicants should ask how often required courses run, what academic support is available, and how a change of major could affect time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Averett University?

College Scorecard program figures describe the median earnings of federally aided completers with matched earnings records one year after completion. They are observations about particular groups, not starting-salary offers or forecasts for future Averett students.

Reported examples include $64,865 for registered nursing, $53,353 for business administration, and $37,797 for criminal justice. The reported figure for sports, kinesiology, and physical education is $23,288. Differences can reflect occupation, location, further schooling, hours worked, and the mix of students in a field; they should not be interpreted as the financial effect of the degree alone.

One-year earnings also miss much of a career trajectory. A prospective student can use them alongside program costs, likely borrowing, licensing requirements, and longer-term occupational information. Career counseling, employer recruitment, and networking are services rather than verified employment outcomes.
