Elim Bible Institute and College

What are the graduation rates for students at Elim Bible Institute and College?

Elim's reported overall graduation rate is 67%, and its reported first-year retention rate is 75%. These measures answer different questions: graduation follows an eligible entering cohort through a defined completion window, while retention tracks whether entering students return the following year.

The graduation measure generally concerns first-time, full-time students completing within 150% of a program's normal length. It should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer, part-time, or adult student. At a college enrolling relatively few new students each year, a change of just a few students can noticeably affect the reported percentage.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Elim Bible Institute and College?

A dependable program-level earnings figure is not available for assessing Elim's theological and ministerial studies outcomes one year after completion. Prospective students should therefore avoid treating a general salary estimate for ministry work as an Elim graduate outcome.

Earnings would be an incomplete measure in any event. Ministry roles differ substantially in pay and may involve part-time employment, graduate study, or work outside a student's field of study. Applicants weighing the cost of attendance should consider the work they intend to pursue and its likely compensation without assuming a particular return on their education.
