Conventional four- and six-year graduation-rate comparisons are of limited use for Cincinnati College of Mortuary Science's predominantly transfer-oriented student population. The college recorded no first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduate entrants in the 2024-25 enrollment figures, while it recorded transfer-in entrants.
Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students. They therefore may not describe how students who arrive with prior college credit progress through a specialized program. Applicants seeking a clearer picture should ask for recent completion results by degree pathway and entry cohort, along with the typical time to finish for students entering with comparable credits.
A College Scorecard field-of-study figure dated October 2026 reports $36,899 in annual earnings for funeral service and mortuary science about one year after completion. It is an observed earnings measure, not a promised starting salary or a projection of any individual graduate's income.
Early-career earnings can vary with location, job duties, hours, prior work experience, and whether a graduate has completed the steps required for a professional license. The figure is most useful alongside a realistic estimate of borrowing and living expenses. Employment offers and earnings are also different outcomes: receiving an offer does not establish what a person ultimately earns or whether they remain in that job.
