What are the graduation rates for students at Concordia University-Nebraska?

Concordia University, Nebraska reports a 51% four-year graduation rate and a 65% six-year graduation rate in its 2024-25 institutional data. The longer window includes students who finish after the traditional four years; it is not an additional group of graduates to add to the four-year figure.

These federal-style graduation measures chiefly follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. They do not describe every transfer student, part-time student or graduate student. Concordia's reported first-year retention rate is 80%, meaning that the measure concerns students returning for a second year, not students completing a degree.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures is relevant to budgeting: additional terms can mean additional tuition and living expenses. Students in sequential majors should review course availability and required fieldwork when planning a realistic completion timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Concordia University-Nebraska?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings for selected former Concordia University, Nebraska students about one year after completing a program. They are retrospective measures for the students included in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate.

  • Business/commerce, general: reported one-year earnings of $42,064.
  • Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $37,629.
  • Psychology, general: $32,383.
  • Sports, kinesiology and physical education/fitness: $28,281.

Scorecard field-of-study earnings are median measures for the covered federally aided completers with earnings records. The population can be small, and the figure does not capture every student's circumstances or explain differences in occupation, location, hours worked or further education. A one-year figure is especially limited for fields in which professional advancement commonly requires graduate study or licensure. It is most useful alongside program cost, likely borrowing and information about the jobs graduates seek.
