What are the graduation rates for students at Concord University?

Concord University's reported six-year graduation rate is 39%, while its four-year rate is 31%. These measures follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or returning student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 65%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time cohort returned for the following fall. Graduation rates can help applicants frame questions about course scheduling and academic support, but they do not explain why individual students leave, transfer, pause, or take longer to finish. A student planning a particular major can ask for its course sequence and expected time to degree.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Concord University?

Field-level earnings figures offer a limited view of early career outcomes for some Concord University programs. College Scorecard figures for earnings one year after completion report medians for eligible graduates with observed earnings, rather than a salary that every graduate receives.

  • Teacher education and professional development, specific levels and methods: $35,004.
  • Business administration, management and operations: $29,659.
  • Psychology, general: $22,218.

These program figures concern different groups of graduates and should not be treated as a controlled comparison of the value of each major. Employment location, occupation, further study, work hours, and the number of graduates included can affect the result. A one-year figure also says little about earnings later in a career or about jobs that require graduate education or professional licensure.
