Hesston College

What are the graduation rates for students at Hesston College?

Hesston College's reported overall graduation rate is 61% in IPEDS 2024-25 data. This is a defined completion measure, not a prediction that any particular entering student will graduate.

The reported four-year rate is 46%, and the six-year rate is 54%. These measures can involve different cohorts and degree-level definitions from the overall rate; they should not be added together or read as successive outcomes for one group without checking the underlying IPEDS tables. Hesston also reports a 78% student retention rate, a separate indicator concerning continued enrollment rather than degree completion.

Students comparing programs should ask for outcomes specific to the credential they want. An associate-degree transfer pathway and a bachelor's program have different normal completion periods, and an institution-wide percentage can obscure those differences.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Hesston College?

The College Scorecard reports earnings of $52,560 for Hesston College's registered nursing program one year after completion, in data available as of October 2026. This is a program-level earnings measure for the population represented in the Scorecard, not a starting salary offered to every nursing graduate.

Scorecard earnings measures depend on which former students can be matched to reported earnings and may exclude some completers. The figure also does not establish that everyone measured works in nursing, works full time or lives in the same labor market. Small programs can be particularly sensitive to cohort size and reporting rules.

For a fuller career picture, nursing applicants should compare this measure with licensure requirements and program outcomes. Hesston reports career support including individual and group planning, résumé preparation, career-interest testing, job-interview opportunities and on-campus employer recruitment. Availability of those services is not itself evidence of an employment rate or a salary outcome.
