Cairn's reported six-year graduation rate is 60%, while its four-year rate is 34%. These figures describe the share of a defined entering cohort completing a degree within each period; they do not mean that every student who misses the four-year mark eventually graduates.
The difference between the two rates is consequential for budgeting. A student who needs additional semesters may face costs beyond a four-year plan, even if they ultimately complete a degree. The reported first-year retention rate is 77%, indicating the share continuing into the following year under that measure. Cohort graduation statistics are useful benchmarks, but they do not predict an individual transfer student's or part-time student's path.
Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings one year after completion for some Cairn programs. The reported amount is $25,470 for teacher education at specified levels and methods, $28,083 for religion or religious studies, and $32,714 for social work.
These are program-specific, early-career measures, not promised salaries or an institution-wide average. Scorecard earnings measures depend on graduates for whom relevant federal records can be matched and generally do not represent everyone who completes a program. Employment status, further education, location, occupation, and the size of a reported program group all affect interpretation. Students considering a licensed profession should weigh these figures alongside the time and cost of any credentials required after graduation.
