What are the graduation rates for students at Carroll College?

Carroll College's reported six-year graduation rate is 69% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 56%. These measures show how many students in a defined entering group completed within each period; they are not predictions for an individual applicant.

The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, meaning that share of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions. Neither measure, on its own, explains why a student stays or leaves, and these first-time-cohort rates do not describe the outcomes of every transfer or part-time student.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Carroll College?

Reported College Scorecard figures show different median earnings by field among the applicable federally aided graduates measured about one year after completion. For example, the reported figure is $62,366 for registered nursing and $31,749 for business administration, management, and operations.

Other reported one-year field figures include $31,351 for health services and allied health sciences, $26,370 for rehabilitation and therapeutic professions, and about $23,700 each for biology and psychology. These are field-specific medians for the measured population, not starting-salary offers or estimates for every student in a major. Employment, further study, location, experience, and the type of job held can all affect what an individual earns.

Carroll's career services provide a different kind of evidence: students can use individual career counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Those services may help students explore options, but their availability should not be confused with a verified employment or earnings outcome.
