What are the graduation rates for students at Great Lakes Christian College?

Great Lakes Christian College's reported overall graduation rate is 36% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. Its reported four-year and six-year rates are each 32%. These measures describe defined groups of entering students, not the probability that any individual applicant will graduate.

The college's reported student retention rate is 49%. Retention concerns whether students continue from one year to the next; it is not a graduation rate. Applicants comparing colleges should pay attention to the cohort and time period behind each measure, particularly at a small institution where a modest change in the number of students can noticeably change a percentage. Transfers and part-time students may also have experiences that are not fully represented by first-time-student graduation measures.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Great Lakes Christian College?

Graduate earnings are best evaluated by program, cohort, and measurement date, not by assuming that one salary applies to every Great Lakes Christian College degree. A one-year-after-completion earnings measure, for example, describes earnings at an early career point; it does not establish lifetime income or what a new applicant will make.

Students comparing career paths should examine the work associated with a specific major, whether further education or licensure is typically required, and the earnings measure's underlying population. Ministry, teaching-related, business, and other occupations can have substantially different career structures. An occupational wage estimate is useful context, but it should not be presented as the earnings of this college's graduates.
