Bethany College-Kansas

What are the graduation rates for students at Bethany College-Kansas?

Bethany's reported six-year graduation rate is 36% for the measured entering cohort; its four-year rate is 28%. These rates follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students, so they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or returning student's likelihood of completion.

The reported first-year retention rate is 43%, meaning fewer than half of the students in the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation are different measures, and neither identifies why a student left or how many students later completed a degree elsewhere. Applicants can use these figures to ask specific questions about advising, course availability, academic support, and the cost of taking longer than four years.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bethany College-Kansas?

College Scorecard program-level figures provide a limited look at earnings about one year after completion for federally aided students in programs with reportable results. The reported median is $30,319 for biology and $19,090 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education/fitness. A separately classified business-related program shows $24,708; it should not be treated as the outcome for every business major.

These are observations for specific groups and measurement periods, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an applicant. Early earnings may reflect occupation, location, further study, hours worked, and the number of graduates represented. Small programs may not have a publishable figure. Students evaluating career value should weigh these measures alongside total borrowing, program requirements, and the jobs or graduate programs they intend to pursue.
