What are the graduation rates for students at Emory & Henry University?

Emory & Henry's reported four-year graduation rate is 44%, while its six-year rate is 56%. These measures follow a defined group of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe the completion experience of every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures indicates that some students complete after the traditional four-year timetable. The reported student retention rate is 66%, a separate measure of whether students return after their first year. Neither measure, on its own, explains why a student leaves, stays, or takes longer to finish. Applicants comparing colleges should use the same cohort definitions and reporting periods for each institution.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Emory & Henry University?

The College Scorecard field-of-study measure reports median earnings of $34,516 for federally aided completers in business administration, management, and operations one year after completion. A median is the midpoint of the reported earnings distribution, not an expected salary for an individual graduate.

This is an early-career measure for a particular field and student population, not a university-wide earnings figure. Employment status, further education, location, occupation, and the size of the reporting cohort can all affect how useful it is for an individual decision. Prospective students should compare outcomes for the degree they intend to pursue and weigh earnings alongside tuition, borrowing, and the work they hope to do.
