Illinois College's reported four-year graduation rate is 57%, and its six-year rate is 64%. These measures follow groups of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students for the stated periods; they are not the graduation rates of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.
The reported first-year retention rate is 71%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured entering group continued into the following year. Graduation and retention figures describe past cohorts, not a prediction for a particular applicant. Students comparing schools should use the same cohort definition and time period when interpreting completion rates.
Program-level College Scorecard figures provide a limited look at earnings approximately one year after graduation for federally aided graduates included in the measure. They are median earnings for the measured group, not starting salaries offered to all graduates or a forecast of an individual's income.
Among the reported program figures are $45,712 for finance, $38,718 for economics, and $30,429 for psychology. Timing matters: a one-year measure may capture early jobs while excluding later advancement, and further study can change who appears in an earnings measure. Small programs may also have figures withheld or based on limited numbers. Applicants comparing majors should weigh these figures alongside likely occupations, graduate-study plans, location, and the cost of completing the degree.
