Standard four-year and six-year undergraduate graduation-rate measures are not useful indicators for Franciscan School of Theology. Those federal measures generally track cohorts of first-time, full-time bachelor's students, while FST is a graduate theology school; its 2024-25 figures show no first-time degree-seeking undergraduates.
A prospective student can get a more relevant picture by asking a program about its expected time to degree, required credits, part-time enrollment options, and how often students complete field education or a final project on schedule. Those questions address a master's student's likely path more directly than an undergraduate graduation-rate comparison would.
A reliable, program-specific earnings figure is not established here for FST graduates. A salary claim would be particularly easy to misinterpret at a school whose students may enter ministry, nonprofit work, further study, or other fields with different compensation patterns.
When comparing any later earnings estimate, check whether it is a median or an average, how many graduates it covers, how long after completion earnings were measured, and whether it includes only people with earnings recorded in the underlying system. Such statistics can inform a financial decision, but they cannot predict an individual graduate's pay or capture every form of ministry and community work.
