Claremont School of Theology

What are the graduation rates for students at Claremont School of Theology?

The familiar four-year and six-year graduation rates used to compare undergraduate colleges are not appropriate measures of Claremont School of Theology's graduate programs. Students enter different degrees, and part-time enrollment, research and supervised practice can affect time to completion.

For a useful comparison, applicants should request program-specific completion information: the proportion of entering students who finish, the period measured, typical time to degree and whether the figures include part-time students. A completion rate for a professional master's program should not be presented as though it also describes doctoral study.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Claremont School of Theology?

A single earnings figure would be a poor substitute for evaluating the career outcomes of Claremont School of Theology's different degrees. Ministry, academic work, chaplaincy and other service-oriented roles have different pay structures, and compensation can depend heavily on employer, location and prior experience.

Applicants who need an earnings estimate should ask for outcomes tied to their intended degree and occupation, including the population measured and how long after completion the measurement was taken. A median describes the midpoint of a measured group - not a salary a future graduate can expect. It also cannot show whether a position meets ordination or certification goals.
