Reported completion outcomes warrant careful reading at a division that enrolls both first-time and transfer students. For the 2024-25 reporting period, the published overall graduation rate is 43%. A separately reported six-year rate is 21%, while the four-year rate is 18%.
These figures should not be read as successive checkpoints for one clearly identified group of all current students. Federal graduation-rate measures commonly follow specified first-time, full-time entering cohorts, excluding many transfer and part-time students whose paths are especially relevant here. The reported retention rate is 50%, but that measure also does not describe every continuing-studies student. Applicants comparing completion prospects should ask for outcomes for their own entry route - particularly transfer or part-time enrollment - and for the degree they intend to pursue.
Federal College Scorecard figures report earnings for some fields associated with Drury, measured one year after completion. The reported figures include $35,852 for business administration, $29,864 for criminal justice, and $23,521 for psychology.
These are field-level observations for former students included in the federal earnings measure, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate of the College of Continuing Professional Studies. Earnings can differ with occupation, location, prior work experience, further study, and the size of the group measured. Some fields do not have a publishable figure. A useful comparison also considers program cost, borrowing, employment opportunities, and whether the degree meets the requirements of an intended profession.
