What are the graduation rates for students at Fisk University?

Fisk's reported six-year graduation rate is 30% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 24%. These measures follow an entering cohort over different periods; they are not the percentage of all current students who eventually earn a degree.

The reported first-year retention rate is 74%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the relevant first-time, full-time students returned for the following fall. Retention and graduation answer different questions, and neither figure describes every transfer or part-time student's experience. The six-year completion figure is lower than the reported national institutional average of about 51%. A prospective student may find it useful to ask an academic adviser how required courses are scheduled and what support is available if a course must be repeated or a major changes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Fisk University?

Federal College Scorecard program-level figures report median annual earnings measured about one year after completion for certain federally aided Fisk students whose earnings can be matched to employment records. The reported figures include $36,640 for business administration, management and operations and $28,812 for psychology.

These are historical outcomes for measured groups, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. The figures do not capture every graduate or every form of work, and earnings can change with location, occupation, further education and time since completion. They are most useful alongside information about program costs, typical career paths and the number of students represented - not as a guarantee of what a degree will pay.

Fisk reports career-center services including individual and group counseling, résumé assistance, interview preparation, job listings, employer recruitment and job fairs. Those services are opportunities to seek guidance and contacts; they should not be read as verified job-placement outcomes.
