Standard four-year and six-year undergraduate graduation rates are not an appropriate way to judge this graduate seminary. Those federal measures generally follow first-time, full-time students pursuing undergraduate credentials, rather than students entering an M. Div., D. Min. or other theological pathway.
A more useful comparison would examine completion and time to degree by program, including how part-time enrollment affects the schedule. Applicants can ask the program for its defined completion measure and the period it covers. They should also distinguish graduating from reaching a later vocational goal, such as ordination, which depends on decisions beyond the degree itself.
A single graduate salary figure would be a poor guide to Bexley Seabury's programs. Theological graduates may work in ordained ministry, lay ministry, nonprofit organizations or other fields with different compensation arrangements.
For a meaningful earnings comparison, a prospective student would need to know which graduates were measured, whether the figure was a median or mean, how long after completion it was recorded, and whether part-time work or housing benefits were included. Expected borrowing is also important: a salary estimate is more useful when considered alongside the cost of the particular credential and the student's intended occupation.
