Dean College's overall graduation rate is relatively low, with only 43% of students completing their programs. This places the institution in the bottom 25% nationally. Male students graduate at an even lower rate of 36%, while female students have a higher graduation rate of 51%, although still considered low, ranking in the bottom 30%. The four-year graduation rate is 31%, reflecting similar challenges in timely degree completion.
Longer-term outcomes also reveal modest results. The six-year graduation rate stands at 37%, which is notably low and falls within the bottom 20% of comparable institutions. Despite these figures, the college maintains an average student retention rate of 76%, placing it near the median range nationally. This suggests that while many students persist beyond their first year, fewer ultimately earn their degrees.
Graduates from Dean College can expect varying earning potentials depending on their field of study. Among the degrees with available data, those who pursued Business Administration, Management and Operations tend to earn the highest average income, with annual earnings around $34,404. This suggests strong professional opportunities for students interested in business-related careers.
Other fields with measurable earnings include Psychology, General, where graduates make approximately $31,179 per year. This reflects a moderate return for students entering social sciences and behavioral study areas.
Creative and performance arts also show defined earnings: students with degrees in Arts, Entertainment, and Media Management earn about $22,516 annually, while graduates in Drama/Theatre Arts and Stagecraft and Dance report average earnings around $21,845 and $21,538 respectively. These figures provide insight into the financial landscape for those pursuing artistic professions after Dean College.
