What are the graduation rates for students at Clarke University?

Clarke's reported six-year graduation rate is 56% for the relevant cohort of first-time, full-time undergraduates seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 44%. These measures follow an entering cohort for different lengths of time; they are not graduation probabilities for every new student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 67%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Transfer students, part-time students, and graduate students may have different paths that these particular cohort measures do not describe. Four-year completion can also depend on course sequencing, changed majors, and the timing of clinical or student-teaching requirements.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Clarke University?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion, not a prediction of any individual graduate's salary. Among the reported fields, median one-year earnings are $53,088 for registered nursing and related nursing programs and $49,623 for business administration and related programs.

The corresponding reported figures are $34,866 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods and $32,717 for psychology. Scorecard program earnings generally concern graduates whose earnings can be measured in federal data; further study, geographic location, work hours, and occupation can all affect the result. A one-year figure also misses later career development and should be considered alongside program cost and likely borrowing.

Clarke reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job-search resources, employer recruiting, and alumni networking. Those services are available to help students plan and apply; they should not be confused with a verified job-placement guarantee.
