Cottey College reports an overall graduation rate of 61%, a figure considered average and placing the institution in the top 45% nationally. Female students graduate at the same rate of 61%, though this rate positions them somewhat lower, in the bottom 50% by percentile. Graduation outcomes for male students are not available for comparison.
When examining longer-term graduation rates, the college's four-year completion rate stands at 38%, also categorized as average but ranking in the bottom 45% nationally. The six-year graduation rate is slightly higher at 47%, though this too is considered average and falls in the lower 35% percentile bracket. These figures suggest that while a fair number of students complete their programs within six years, the rates remain modest in comparison to other institutions.
Retention rates present an area of challenge, with only 61% of students returning after their first year. This retention rate is regarded as low, placing the college in the bottom 15% nationally, which may influence overall graduation outcomes.
