Converse's reported four-year graduation rate is 56%, and its six-year rate is 62%. These measures track completion within specified periods for a defined entering undergraduate cohort; they are not the share of all students, including transfers and graduate students, who eventually earn a degree.
The reported first-year retention rate is 80%. Retention measures whether students return after their first year, not whether they graduate. Together, the figures suggest that completion timing deserves attention: a student who finishes after four years may incur additional living costs or lose time in the workforce. Individual outcomes can differ substantially by transfer-credit acceptance, course sequencing, enrollment intensity, and personal circumstances; the rates alone do not establish why students did or did not finish.
Available field-specific earnings figures offer a limited look at former Converse students' earnings roughly one year after completion, not a salary promise for a new graduate. Reported figures are $16,965 for psychology, $19,334 for drama and theatre arts, and $21,669 for fine and studio arts.
These are program-level early-career observations, not evidence that every graduate in those majors earns the stated amount. The figures do not establish whether an individual will work full time, pursue graduate study, remain in the same field, or live in a labor market with similar wages. They also do not show the distribution of earnings within a program or supply comparable figures for every Converse major. Students comparing financial outcomes should consider program costs, likely borrowing, career plans, and earnings over a longer period rather than treating a one-year figure as a lifetime return on a degree.
