What are the graduation rates for students at Centenary College of Louisiana?

Centenary's reported six-year graduation rate is 56% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 48%. These figures track groups who entered in earlier years; they do not predict whether a particular student will graduate.

The difference between the four- and six-year measures shows that some students in the cohort completed after the traditional four-year point. Centenary's reported first-year retention rate is 70%, a separate measure of whether students returned the following fall. Transfer and part-time students may follow different paths and are not represented in the same way by the standard first-time, full-time graduation measure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Centenary College of Louisiana?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report a one-year earnings figure of $30,546 for Centenary's business administration, management, and operations program. This is a program-level measure of earnings after completion, not a starting salary offered to every graduate.

College Scorecard earnings measures draw on graduates with federally aided education and matched earnings records; they do not describe every alumnus or capture all forms of work. A one-year figure is also too early to show a full career trajectory. Applicants comparing majors should consider it alongside program costs, likely borrowing, employment goals, and the fact that small programs may have limited publishable earnings information.
