Franklin College

What are the graduation rates for students at Franklin College?

In the reported IPEDS outcomes, Franklin College's six-year graduation rate was 60%, while its four-year rate was 57%. These are cohort measures for first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree, not completion rates for everyone who has ever attended the college.

The relatively small difference between the four- and six-year figures indicates that the reported cohort's additional completions after year four were limited. The college's reported retention rate was 73%; retention measures a different outcome, generally whether first-time students returned the following fall, rather than whether they ultimately earned a degree.

Transfer students, students who begin part time, and individual majors may have different paths through college. Applicants can use the institution-wide rates as context while asking their intended program about course sequencing, internship timing, and support for staying on track.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Franklin College?

College Scorecard program figures provide a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for former students whose earnings can be measured. They are not salary offers, forecasts for current applicants, or a complete accounting of every graduate's work and further study.

For example, the reported one-year figure was $43,875 for business/commerce and $38,164 for teacher education in the specified category. Figures for biology and psychology were $33,407 and $34,378, respectively. These are different fields with different typical entry routes; an early-career comparison should not be treated as a ranking of academic quality or long-term earning potential.

Scorecard earnings depend on the population included in its records and its reporting rules, and a program-level figure may be unavailable or suppressed when it cannot be reported reliably. Graduate study, employment location, hours worked, and occupation can all affect an individual's earnings. Students should consider these figures alongside program costs, debt, internships, and the kinds of jobs a degree is intended to support.
