What are the graduation rates for students at Beloit College?

Beloit College's reported six-year graduation rate was 71% for the 2024-25 reporting cycle. Its four-year rate was 55%. These figures describe the applicable cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students, not the likelihood that any particular applicant will graduate.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures shows why time to completion matters when estimating cost: a student who needs an additional year may face further tuition and living expenses. Beloit's reported first-year retention rate was 81%, a different measure that tracks whether students returned for the following year. Transfer students and students attending part time are not necessarily represented by the standard first-time cohort graduation rate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Beloit College?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings one year after completion for federally aided graduates with reportable employment outcomes. For Beloit, reported median earnings included $33,684 in education and $28,383 in chemistry. The figures describe graduates captured by that measure, not everyone who studied those subjects.

One-year earnings can be affected by graduate study, public-service work, location, hours worked, and the size of the reporting group. They are not starting-salary offers or predictions of an individual graduate's income. Students evaluating career paths can pair these outcomes with Beloit's career support: reported services include individual counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Access to those services should not be mistaken for a verified employment outcome.
