What are the graduation rates for students at Central College?

Central College's reported six-year graduation rate is 66% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its reported four-year rate is 57%.

These rates describe groups of students who entered in earlier years; they do not predict whether an individual student will graduate. Four-year and six-year measures also use different entering cohorts when reported for the same year, so their difference should not be read as a precise count of one class finishing during years five and six. The reported first-year retention rate is 80%, meaning four in five students in the measured group returned the following fall. Transfers and part-time students may have different experiences that these standard graduation measures do not fully capture.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Central College?

The available College Scorecard field-of-study figure reports $43,169 in earnings one year after completion for Central College's business administration, management and operations program. It is a program-level measure, not an estimate of what every Central graduate earns.

College Scorecard earnings measures cover graduates represented in federal-aid records and can reflect which graduates have usable earnings information. A one-year figure may also precede graduate study, career changes and later salary growth. Program, occupation, location and experience all affect pay. Applicants comparing majors should consider the measurement period and population alongside costs, borrowing and the kinds of work graduates pursue.
