What are the graduation rates for students at Hope International University?

In IPEDS 2024-25 reporting, Hope International University's six-year graduation rate was 49%, while its four-year rate was 36%. These measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students; they are not graduation rates for everyone who attends, including transfer or part-time students.

The reported first-year retention rate was 52%. Retention measures whether students return the following year, not whether they eventually graduate. Completion figures can be useful for comparing institutions, but they do not explain why an individual student stays, leaves, transfers, or takes longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Hope International University?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings measured one year after completion for some Hope International University programs. These are observed outcomes for the students represented in each reported field, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a new student.

  • Human development, family studies, and related services: $40,466
  • Theological and ministerial studies: $35,221
  • Business administration, management, and operations: $33,799
  • Social sciences, general: $25,509
  • Liberal arts and sciences, general studies and humanities: $21,271

These field-level figures should be read alongside the College Scorecard's definition of the reported population and earnings measure, including the credential level for a particular result. They do not capture every graduate or distinguish all differences in occupation, location, work hours, or further study. A one-year figure is particularly limited for careers that require graduate education or professional licensure.
