What are the graduation rates for students at Hilbert College?

Hilbert's reported four-year graduation rate is 48%, and its six-year rate is 55%. These are cohort measures: they follow defined groups of entering students over time, rather than predicting whether an individual student will graduate on schedule.

The separately reported overall graduation rate is 56%, while first-year retention is 64%. Retention measures how many students return the following year; it is not a graduation rate. Differences among these figures reflect their definitions and reporting groups, so they should not be added together. Prospective students weighing time to degree may find it useful to ask how often required courses are offered in their intended major and whether a proposed transfer or part-time schedule changes the expected timeline.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Hilbert College?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures report median earnings measured one year after completion for some Hilbert programs. The reported figures include $35,169 for business administration, management and operations and $31,669 for criminal justice and corrections. These are outcomes for the covered former students with reported earnings, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate.

One-year figures capture an early point in a career. They do not account fully for later advancement, differences in local labor markets, graduate study, or the jobs individual students choose. Program-level federal data can also cover small or varying cohorts. Students should weigh earnings alongside likely borrowing, completion time, and the qualifications their target occupation requires.
