Conventional four-year and six-year undergraduate graduation rates are not appropriate measures of ITC's graduate programs. Those federal measures generally follow first-time, full-time undergraduates; they do not describe the typical Master of Divinity or doctoral student.
Applicants comparing seminaries can seek degree-specific completion information instead: the share of students completing a particular program, the time they take, and whether part-time students are included. Those definitions matter because graduate ministry students may enroll part time or balance coursework with professional responsibilities.
A reliable ITC-specific earnings figure by field of study is not established here. Prospective students should therefore avoid treating a general salary estimate for clergy, counselors, or nonprofit workers as the expected return on an ITC degree.
Earnings can vary by denomination, occupation, location, prior experience, and whether a graduate works full time in a paid ministry position. For career planning, compare the costs of the specific degree with realistic roles you may pursue, while keeping in mind that earnings alone do not measure the educational or vocational value of theological study.
