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

Reported completion figures show that 33% of Concordia University, St. Paul students in the relevant first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort graduated within four years, while 45% graduated within six years. These measures follow an entering cohort over time; they do not describe every current undergraduate or predict a particular student's outcome.

The reported first-year retention rate is 67%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Graduation measures can change considerably between entering cohorts. They also do not fully capture the experiences of transfer students, part-time students or adults who start elsewhere. Applicants weighing time to degree should ask their program for a term-by-term course plan and check when required courses, placements or clinical experiences are offered.

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

Federal College Scorecard program data reports earnings for former Concordia University, St. Paul students by field of study one year after completion. These figures are outcomes for measured groups, not starting-salary offers or promises about what an individual graduate will earn.

  • Registered nursing: $69,374 in reported earnings one year after completion.
  • Computer and information technology administration and management: $57,304.
  • Health and medical administrative services: $53,999.
  • Business administration, management and operations: $50,294.
  • Teacher education for specific levels and methods: $35,970.

College Scorecard program earnings are typically based on graduates whose federal-aid and earnings records can be matched. Comparisons need care: credential level, prior work experience, geography, hours worked and the size of a program's measured group can all affect the result. A one-year figure also says little about later career growth. Students comparing programs should pair earnings information with program costs, completion prospects, licensing outcomes where relevant and their own career goals.
