What are the graduation rates for students at Bob Jones University?

Reported completion figures show a 57% four-year graduation rate and a 63% six-year graduation rate for the applicable entering student cohorts. A separately reported overall graduation rate is 65%. These measures should not be combined or treated as interchangeable because their populations and reporting definitions may differ.

A four-year rate asks whether students in a defined entering group finished within the standard period; a six-year rate allows more time. Neither describes every current student, particularly transfers, part-time students, or graduate students. The reported student retention rate is 82%, indicating the share covered by that measure who continued into the next academic year, not the share who ultimately earned a degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Bob Jones University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures describe reported earnings approximately one year after completion for graduates who meet that federal dataset's coverage rules. They are not starting-salary offers, guaranteed outcomes, or estimates for every graduate of a major.

Among the reported figures, registered nursing is $60,207 and accounting is $53,375. Engineering is $51,784, while business administration is $30,814. The listed teacher-education figures vary by specialization; for example, the figure for preparation in specific grade levels and methods is $30,289. These are field-specific measures, not a university-wide average.

Coverage can exclude graduates who are not captured in the underlying earnings records or who do not meet the measure's criteria. Small programs may also have suppressed results. Location, occupation, further study, and the time elapsed since graduation all affect how useful a one-year figure is for an individual career decision.
