Charleston School of Law

What are the graduation rates for students at Charleston School of Law?

Undergraduate four-year and six-year graduation rates do not describe Charleston School of Law's J.D. outcomes. The school enrolls graduate professional students, so the more useful measures are J.D. completion and attrition, bar passage, and employment after graduation.

These measures answer different questions. Attrition tracks students who leave a program; bar-passage figures concern graduates who take a licensing examination; and employment reports categorize graduates' jobs at a specified point after graduation. Prospective students should compare the cohort and reporting year on the school's ABA-required disclosures rather than treat any one figure as a prediction of their own result.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Charleston School of Law?

A reliable, school-specific one-year earnings figure is not established here, so prospective students should not infer a typical salary from tuition or from general statistics about lawyers. J.D. earnings can vary substantially by employer, location, practice area, prior experience and whether a graduate enters a job that requires bar admission.

For a more informative view of early outcomes, examine Charleston School of Law's ABA employment report for the graduating class of interest. Check how many graduates hold full-time, long-term positions requiring bar admission, how many work in other roles and how many are still seeking employment. Employment status is not the same as pay; a published salary survey, when available, may cover only graduates who reported compensation and may not represent the entire class.
