College of Biblical Studies-Houston

What are the graduation rates for students at College of Biblical Studies-Houston?

Reported graduation figures for College of Biblical Studies-Houston include a 40% overall graduation rate and a 20% six-year graduation rate in the supplied IPEDS 2024-25 reporting. These measures should not be treated as interchangeable: graduation-rate categories can use different starting groups and time limits.

The reported four-year rate is also 20%. Federal graduation measures commonly follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students, so they do not describe the experience of every transfer or part-time student. That distinction is particularly important here because the college reported only six full-time, degree-seeking freshmen; a small starting group can make percentages change sharply from year to year.

A reported 100% retention rate addresses a different question - whether students in a specified group returned - not whether they ultimately completed a degree. Applicants should compare these outcomes with the pace and enrollment pattern they expect for themselves.

What is the earning potential for graduates at College of Biblical Studies-Houston?

The reported College Scorecard figure for theological and ministerial studies is $28,060 one year after completion. It is a field-specific earnings measure, not a promised starting salary or an estimate for every CBS-Houston student.

College Scorecard earnings measures reflect the graduates captured by the federal data and the applicable measurement window. They can leave out people whose earnings are not observed and cannot show the full value of unpaid ministry, later career progression, or differences in hours worked. Students comparing programs should use this figure alongside program cost, likely borrowing, their intended occupation, and longer-term career goals.
