What are the graduation rates for students at Benedictine College?

Benedictine College's reported four-year graduation rate is 47%, while its six-year rate is 62%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe the outcomes of every transfer, part-time, or returning student.

The additional 15 percentage points at six years show why the measurement period matters when comparing colleges. The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, meaning most students in that measured cohort returned for a second year. Neither figure, by itself, explains why an individual student stays, transfers, or graduates. Students considering a tightly sequenced major should also inspect its course schedule and advising requirements.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Benedictine College?

College Scorecard program data report earnings one year after completion for some Benedictine College fields. Reported figures include $32,842 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods, $30,946 for theological and ministerial studies, and $29,647 for psychology.

These are program-specific, early-career observations - not a college-wide salary, a guaranteed starting wage, or an estimate for every graduate. The population represented by a federal earnings measure may exclude graduates without the records needed for that measure, and results can reflect occupation, location, further study, and sample size. One-year earnings are especially limited for fields whose common career paths require graduate education or professional training.
