Cornerstone University

What are the graduation rates for students at Cornerstone University?

Cornerstone's reported four-year graduation rate is 56%, and its six-year rate is 63%. These measures track defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, adult, or graduate student.

The reported first-year retention rate is 78%, meaning roughly that share of eligible first-time students returned the following fall. Retention and graduation measure different things: a returning student has not necessarily completed a degree, while a student who leaves may later finish elsewhere. The reported overall graduation figure is 62%, but applicants comparing colleges should use the same cohort definition and time period on both sides of a comparison.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Cornerstone University?

College Scorecard figures report different earnings by field for former Cornerstone students observed about one year after completing a credential. They are historical, field-specific measures - not starting-salary offers or predictions for a current applicant.

Among the reported one-year median earnings figures are $44,545 for business administration, $40,175 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods, $38,970 for marketing, and $33,124 for psychology. These figures reflect the eligible former students captured by the federal measure, rather than every graduate. Small groups, continued education, differences in location and occupation, and the timing of the measurement all limit what the numbers can say about a major's long-term value.

Career support is a separate question from earnings outcomes. Cornerstone reports individual and group career counseling, résumé and interview help, employer recruitment, job fairs, and alumni networking opportunities. Students should ask how internship placement and career advising operate in their particular program.
