What are the graduation rates for students at Conception Seminary College?

Conception Seminary College's reported four-year and six-year graduation rates are both 50%. These measures track defined groups of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students over different completion periods; they do not describe the graduation prospects of every transfer or part-time student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 75%, meaning three-quarters of the students in the measured cohort returned the following fall under that measure's rules. At a small seminary, a change involving only a few students can substantially alter a percentage. A student may also leave college seminary after discerning a different path, so a completion figure alone cannot explain why students did or did not graduate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Conception Seminary College?

Salary projections deserve particular caution at Conception Seminary College. Its undergraduate education is oriented toward discernment and, for students who continue, further preparation for priesthood - not a single immediate post-college occupation.

National pay figures for philosophy majors or clergy would not measure this college's graduates specifically. An applicant weighing financial outcomes should consider the cost of any subsequent theological education, the requirements of the vocation or career being considered, and the limits of using earnings alone to judge an undergraduate degree.
