What are the graduation rates for students at Holy Cross College?

Holy Cross College's reported four-year graduation rate is 40%, while its reported six-year rate is 45%. These measures follow defined groups of entering students over different periods; they should not be read as the probability that every current student will graduate on the same timetable.

A separately reported overall graduation figure is 73%. Because completion measures can use different cohorts or definitions, it should not be substituted for the four- or six-year bachelor's figures. First-year retention is reported at 70%, indicating the share of a measured entering group that returned the following year. Transfer students, part-time students, and students who leave and complete a degree elsewhere may not be represented in these measures in the same way.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Holy Cross College?

The available College Scorecard program-level earnings figure for Holy Cross College is $35,964 for business/commerce, measured one year after completion. It is a median for the qualifying graduates represented in that federal measure - not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for every business student.

Program earnings measures can omit graduates who do not meet the reporting criteria, and a single year of earnings says little about later career growth, graduate study, location, or hours worked. Students comparing majors should weigh this figure alongside program costs, likely borrowing, internships, and the kinds of jobs they hope to pursue.
