What are the graduation rates for students at Culver-Stockton College?

Reported 2024-25 completion figures show a 36% four-year graduation rate and a 39% six-year graduation rate for Culver-Stockton. The six-year figure was below the roughly 51% national average in the comparison figures. These measures generally follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The reported first-year retention rate was 67%, meaning roughly two-thirds of the measured first-time group returned the following year under that measure. Completion rates are useful for planning, but they cannot explain by themselves why a student left or took longer. Applicants should ask their intended department how often required courses run and what advising is available if a course is missed or a major changes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Culver-Stockton College?

College Scorecard program figures reported for one year after completion vary considerably by field. The reported figures include $36,793 for business administration, $33,847 for criminal justice, and $29,592 for communication and media studies. The reported figure for teacher education at specified levels and methods is $28,717.

These are program-level, early-career earnings measures for graduates represented in federal data, not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for an individual student. Scorecard one-year earnings are generally reported as medians for the measured cohort; the population may exclude graduates whose earnings cannot be captured or who do not meet the measure's criteria. Program size, geography, further study, occupation, and time in the workforce all affect comparisons. Earnings are therefore most useful alongside program cost, borrowing, completion prospects, and the career path a student actually intends to pursue.
