EAPD's reported six-year graduation rate is 45% for the measured first-time, full-time student cohort. Its four-year rate is 3%. These are cohort measures: they track a defined group entering at a particular time, rather than predicting whether any individual applicant will graduate.
The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, meaning that roughly seven in ten students in the measured cohort returned the following fall under that measure. The large difference between four- and six-year completion makes time to degree an important planning question. Students can ask their program adviser how often required studios are offered and how a part-time schedule or a transferred course might affect progression.
A single earnings figure would not reliably describe the career prospects of EAPD students across fine arts, design, photography, and art education. These fields can lead to different combinations of salaried employment, freelance work, teaching, and further study.
College Scorecard earnings measures, when reported for a program, describe a specified group of federally aided former students at a defined time after attendance; they are not starting-salary offers or promises of earnings. Students assessing a program should also consider the work they can produce for a portfolio, the credentials required for their intended occupation, and the costs of materials or self-employment.
