What are the graduation rates for students at Coe College?

Coe College's reported four-year graduation rate is 59%, and its six-year rate is 66%. These measures track defined groups of first-time, full-time students who began a bachelor's degree; they do not describe the completion experience of every transfer or part-time student.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students finished after the four-year point. Coe also reports a student retention rate of 73%, a separate measure concerning students' continuation from one year to the next. None of these figures, on its own, explains why a student continued, left, or took longer to graduate. Applicants comparing colleges should use the same time period and student population for each comparison.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Coe College?

College Scorecard program figures report median earnings for federally aided graduates one year after completing a program. They are early-career measures for the graduates included in the calculation, not predictions of what every Coe College student will earn.

  • Registered nursing: $57,706
  • Accounting and related services: $49,928
  • Business administration and management: $42,141
  • Public relations and applied communication: $38,344
  • Psychology: $31,588
  • Biology: $29,685

These program figures should not be interpreted as a controlled comparison of majors. Graduates may enter different occupations, pursue further education, work in different places, or have different amounts of experience. One-year earnings also say little about later career progression or the cost of obtaining any additional credential.
