What are the graduation rates for students at Grace Christian University?

Grace Christian University's reported overall graduation rate is 51%. Its four-year rate is 29%, while its six-year rate is 51%. These are measures of specified entering student cohorts over different time periods, not predictions of whether any individual student will finish.

The difference between the four- and six-year figures shows why time to completion matters when estimating cost. Finishing later can mean additional living expenses and, depending on enrollment, further tuition and fees. The reported student retention rate is 65%; retention tracks continued enrollment over a shorter period and should not be confused with graduation.

Standard federal graduation-rate measures primarily follow first-time, full-time students. They may not describe the experience of transfer students, part-time students, or adult learners particularly well. Applicants in those groups can ask their program for a realistic course sequence and expected completion time.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Grace Christian University?

College Scorecard program-level information reports one-year post-completion earnings of $28,984 for pastoral counseling and specialized ministries and $27,977 for human services. These figures are early-career measures for the graduates represented in the underlying records, not salaries promised by either degree.

Program earnings figures should be interpreted carefully at a small institution. They may reflect limited groups of former students and can vary with occupation, location, further education, work hours, and experience. The one-year measurement also cannot show long-term earnings growth. Students comparing programs may find it more useful to consider these figures alongside curriculum, required internships, likely occupations, and any licensing rules.
