What are the graduation rates for students at Greensboro College?

Greensboro College's reported four-year graduation rate is 40%, and its six-year rate is 46%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students; they do not describe the graduation experience of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

The six-year figure allows more time to finish than the four-year figure, so the two rates answer different questions. The reported first-year retention rate is 66%, indicating the share of a measured entering group that returned the following year. None of these figures, on its own, establishes why a student stayed, left, or took longer to finish. Applicants comparing outcomes should look for results relevant to their entry route and intended program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Greensboro College?

College Scorecard program figures describe reported earnings about one year after completion for certain groups of graduates who received federal student aid. They are not starting-salary offers, predictions for current students, or earnings for everyone who completed a major.

Among the reported program figures, liberal arts and sciences has one-year median earnings of $32,870; criminal justice and corrections has $33,552; and drama and theater arts has $16,147. These are program-level medians, not individual outcomes. Early-career pay can vary with occupation, location, hours worked, further education, and the number of graduates represented. Students should weigh these figures alongside program costs, likely borrowing, and the work they hope to pursue.
