What are the graduation rates for students at Colorado College?

Colorado College reports an approximately 88% six-year graduation rate for the tracked cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a degree. Its reported four-year rate is about 71%. These measures follow entering cohorts over different time periods; they are not a forecast for an individual student.

The reported first-year retention rate is about 94%, meaning most students in the measured group returned the following fall. Graduation and retention figures do not describe every transfer student, part-time student, or applicant with a different enrollment path. Students comparing colleges should use the same cohort definitions and time frames rather than comparing unlike measures.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Colorado College?

Federal College Scorecard program data show varied earnings measured about one year after completion for Colorado College graduates in fields with reportable figures. These are field-level observations, not starting-salary offers or estimates for every graduate.

• Economics: approximately $45,092.
• Ethnic, cultural minority, gender, and group studies: approximately $31,555.
• Political science and government: approximately $24,472.
• English language and literature: approximately $24,396.
• Biology: approximately $21,826.

Scorecard earnings measures draw on federal records for the graduates who can be observed under the measure's rules; they do not capture every alumnus or describe all forms of compensation. One-year figures can also be affected by graduate study, career entry patterns, and small program cohorts. They are most useful as limited points of comparison alongside program content, debt, and longer-term career plans.
