What are the graduation rates for students at Judson University?

Judson's reported six-year graduation rate is 60% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 43%. These measures follow an entering cohort over different lengths of time; they are not the share of all currently enrolled students who will graduate.

Judson's reported first-year retention rate is 59%, meaning that roughly three in five students in the measured first-time, full-time group returned the following fall. Retention and graduation figures cover different cohorts and time periods, so they should not be read as a single student journey. Transfer and part-time students may have different paths that these standard first-time cohort measures do not capture well.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Judson University?

Federal College Scorecard program data report median earnings about one year after completion for some Judson fields of study. Examples include $47,188 for business administration, $36,266 for teacher education in specific levels and methods, $26,541 for human services, and $26,018 for psychology.

These are field-specific, one-year median measures for the federally aided graduates represented in the Scorecard's earnings data, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. The figures can reflect differences in occupation, location, continued education, and the number of graduates observed. A student comparing programs should consider both this early-career measure and the qualifications needed for the work they actually want to do.
