What are the graduation rates for students at Caribbean University-Carolina?

IPEDS figures for Caribbean University-Carolina report a 44% overall graduation rate in the 2024-25 reporting data. A reported four-year rate of 11% and six-year rate of 67% appear alongside it, but those figures should not be read as successive outcomes for one identical group of students.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally track defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students over specified periods. They do not describe every transfer or part-time student's experience. The campus also reports a 71% student retention rate. With a small entering class, changes in a handful of students can move percentages substantially; applicants should ask for program-level completion information when a degree's timeline is central to their decision.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Caribbean University-Carolina?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures dated October 2026 report earnings measured one year after completion of $16,004 for criminal justice and corrections and $14,156 for practical nursing, vocational nursing, and nursing assistants. These are reported outcomes for the populations represented in those field records, not salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate.

The figures should not be applied to every Caribbean University-Carolina student or treated as a comparison of equally sized groups. Earnings measures can exclude some graduates, reflect differences in hours worked or further study, and change as careers progress. They also do not establish whether a graduate secured a job directly related to the credential. For a licensing-oriented program, applicants should consider licensure eligibility and exam outcomes alongside earnings.
