Concordia College at Moorhead

What are the graduation rates for students at Concordia College at Moorhead?

In the reported IPEDS outcomes, 61% of Concordia's relevant first-time, full-time student cohort graduated within six years. The reported four-year rate was 45%, and first-year retention was 84%.

These measures answer different questions. A four-year rate shows completion on a conventional bachelor's-degree timetable; the six-year measure gives students additional time. Retention tracks whether entering students return for a second year, not whether they eventually earn a degree. Federal cohort graduation rates also do not describe every transfer student or every student who enrolls part time.

The reported six-year rate was 72% for the preceding cohort, compared with 61% in the latest figures. Because the figures follow different entering groups, the change should not be attributed to any single policy or cause without further evidence. For a student comparing costs, the gap between four- and six-year completion is a reminder to map out course sequences and the potential expense of an additional term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Concordia College at Moorhead?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited view of earnings about one year after completion, not a salary promised to every Concordia graduate. The figures concern graduates represented in federal data and can differ substantially by field, employment circumstances, and whether a person continues studying.

Among reported examples, the one-year median was $61,933 for registered nursing and $52,813 for accounting and related services. Business administration was reported at $41,280; psychology was $25,606. These are separate program-level populations, not a ranking of what an individual student will earn. Small cohorts, suppressed results, graduate study, location, and career stage all limit comparisons.

Concordia reports career-center services including individual counseling, résumé help, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Those services may help students explore options, but their availability is distinct from verified employment outcomes. Applicants weighing a major should compare its curriculum and possible career paths alongside earnings data.
