What are the graduation rates for students at Grace College and Theological Seminary?

Reported graduation data show that 66% of Grace's first-time, full-time students in the measured bachelor's-degree cohort graduated within four years. The six-year rate was 69%. The relatively small difference indicates that most graduates counted in that cohort finished by the four-year mark, though it does not explain why other students left or took longer.

These rates follow a defined group of entering students; they are not completion rates for every transfer student, part-time student, graduate student, or adult learner. The reported first-year retention rate was 77%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Applicants should consider both measures alongside the course sequence and typical time to completion for their intended program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Grace College and Theological Seminary?

College Scorecard program figures describe reported earnings about one year after program completion for eligible former students with earnings records. They are not starting-salary offers, predictions for an individual graduate, or earnings figures for every person who studied a subject.

Among reported Grace programs, the one-year figure is $45,173 for business administration and management, compared with $38,553 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods. Other reported examples include $32,086 for design and applied arts, $29,875 for communication and media studies, and $23,733 for psychology. These program groups can differ in size, location, further-study rates, and the kinds of jobs graduates take, so the figures should not be treated as a controlled comparison of degree value.

Grace also reports career support that students can use before graduation: individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job-search resources, employer recruitment, and job fairs. Those services are opportunities to seek guidance and contacts, not verified employment outcomes or guarantees of a job offer.
