Converse University reports a graduation rate of 47%, placing it in the lower 30th percentile among comparable institutions. Female students graduate at a similar rate of 47%, which falls within the bottom 25% of peer schools. The four-year graduation rate is slightly lower at 42%, indicating that less than half of students complete their degrees within the traditional timeframe, situating the university near the median range. After six years, the graduation rate improves to 47%, though this still remains relatively low compared to other institutions, ranked in the lower 35th percentile.
Retention rates at Converse University are also modest, with 68% of students continuing beyond their first year, placing the school in the lower 30% bracket for student retention. These figures suggest that while a majority of students remain enrolled after their first year, many do not ultimately reach graduation within six years. Unfortunately, detailed graduation rates by gender beyond the data for women, or breakdowns by specific majors, are not available for further analysis.
Graduates from Converse University exhibit varied earning potentials depending on their field of study. Among the degrees with available data, those holding a degree in Fine and Studio Arts tend to have the highest average earnings, with a median income of $21,669. Close behind are graduates in Drama/Theatre Arts and Stagecraft, whose average earnings reach $19,334. This suggests that careers in the arts may offer competitive financial opportunities for Converse University alumni.
In comparison, graduates with a degree in Psychology earn an average of $16,965, positioning this discipline somewhat lower in terms of initial earnings potential.
While data is not disclosed for many other fields offered at Converse University, the available figures indicate that students pursuing creative and performing arts may experience stronger economic outcomes shortly after graduation than some other disciplines with reported earnings.
