Fisher College

What are the graduation rates for students at Fisher College?

Fisher College's reported overall graduation rate is 28%, while its reported six-year graduation rate is 25%. These are cohort-based measures, not a prediction of whether a particular student will finish; differently defined graduation measures should not be treated as interchangeable.

The reported four-year graduation rate is 16%, and first-year retention is 55%. Retention measures whether students return for a subsequent year, whereas graduation rates follow an entering group over a longer period. Federal graduation-rate measures also do not describe every transfer or part-time student's path. Applicants can use these figures to ask their intended program about course availability, advising, credit transfer, and the likely time needed to complete its requirements.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Fisher College?

Federal College Scorecard program figures report earnings for certain Fisher College completers measured about one year after completing a credential. They are historical, program-level medians for the students included in the measure - not starting salaries promised to all graduates.

Reported examples include a median of $46,000 for business administration and $43,042 for accounting. The reported figure for criminal justice and corrections is $73,807; the difference between fields should not be read as proof that one major causes a higher salary. Credential level, prior work experience, occupation, location, and the number of completers represented can affect comparisons.

One-year earnings capture only an early point in a career. They also do not show a student's education costs, debt, employment satisfaction, or longer-term prospects. Career planning is therefore best informed by program requirements and likely occupations as well as earnings figures.
