Faulkner University

What are the graduation rates for students at Faulkner University?

Faulkner's reported four-year graduation rate is 26%, while its six-year rate is 38%. These measures follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as the completion rate for every transfer student, part-time student, or graduate student.

The separately reported overall graduation rate is 37%, and the reported student retention rate is 64%. Retention generally tracks whether students return the following year, whereas graduation measures completion over a longer period. The figures show why applicants should ask how their intended program is sequenced, which courses are offered regularly, and how a change of major or reduced course load could affect time to degree. The rates alone do not establish why an individual student left or took longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Faulkner University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings associated with some Faulkner programs about one year after completion. The reported figures are medians for the measured, federally aided student population - not starting-salary offers, averages for every graduate, or promises about what a new student will earn.

Among the available field figures, business/commerce is reported at $46,429 and business administration at $39,646. Criminal justice is reported at $36,040, while teacher education for specific levels and methods is reported at $35,964. These figures describe different fields and potentially different groups of completers; they should not be treated as a controlled comparison of the programs' value.

One-year earnings can reflect local labor markets, prior work experience, further study, occupation, and hours worked. For a fuller decision, students should consider program costs, likely borrowing, licensing requirements, and whether a longer-term earnings measure is available for the degree they want.
