What are the graduation rates for students at Benedict College?

Benedict College's reported six-year graduation rate was 24% for the applicable first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort; its four-year rate was 13%. These measures track whether members of an entering cohort completed a degree at Benedict within the specified period. They do not measure the completion outcomes of every transfer student or every student who attends part time.

The reported first-year retention rate was 57%, meaning that measure counts the share of eligible first-time students who returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures are important questions for applicants, but they do not explain why an individual student leaves or takes longer. Students comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and time period for each school. At Benedict, a useful follow-up is to ask a department how often required courses are offered and what advising is available when a student falls behind a four-year course plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Benedict College?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings one year after completion for federally aided graduates in fields with publishable results. They are snapshots of a defined group, not starting-salary offers for all Benedict College graduates.

In the figures available as of October 2026, the one-year median was $28,235 for psychology and $26,802 for criminal justice and corrections. Biology's reported figure was $19,466. The results should not be read as a ranking of majors: graduate study, occupation, location, hours worked, and the characteristics of the measured cohorts can all affect earnings. Federal privacy and reporting rules also mean that a field without a published figure cannot be assumed to have either higher or lower earnings.

Benedict reports career-center services including individual counseling, résumé assistance, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Those services may help students prepare for a search, but their availability is not an employment or salary outcome.
