What are the graduation rates for students at George Fox University?

George Fox's reported four-year graduation rate is 66%, while its six-year rate is 72%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they should not be read as graduation rates for all transfers, part-time students, or graduate students.

The six-year figure indicates that some students finish after the traditional four-year window. The reported first-year retention rate is 83%, a separate measure of whether students return after their first year rather than whether they eventually graduate. Prospective students in programs with admission gates, clinical placements, or prescribed course sequences should ask for program-specific completion information when available.

What is the earning potential for graduates at George Fox University?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited look at earnings about one year after program completion for federally aided graduates included in the measure. They are not a forecast of an individual student's salary, and they do not represent every graduate or every occupation a major can lead to.

For example, the reported one-year median is $78,566 for registered nursing and $64,179 for general engineering. Reported figures for business administration and accounting are $55,390 and $57,109, respectively. In other fields, the reported median is $31,550 for psychology and $29,440 for biology. Differences can reflect occupation, location, further study, and which graduates are included, not simply the value of the degree.

These are field-of-study outcomes at a particular point in time, not starting-salary offers or lifetime earnings. Students should weigh them alongside likely debt, licensing requirements, graduate-study plans, and the kinds of work they want to pursue.
