Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary

What are the graduation rates for students at Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary?

Reported completion outcomes show a 63% six-year graduation rate and a 0% four-year graduation rate in the 2024-25 institutional data. Those are different measurement points for the applicable first-time, full-time cohort, not predictions of when any particular student will graduate.

The reported first-year retention rate is 100%. Retention measures whether students return for the next year; it does not mean all students ultimately complete a credential. Applicants should ask for the program's expected course sequence and typical time to completion, especially if they intend to combine study with work or family responsibilities. Cohort percentages at a small institution can also shift substantially when only a few students have different outcomes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Kehilath Yakov Rabbinical Seminary?

A reliable one-year earnings figure for the seminary's religion or religious-studies field should not be inferred from its graduation rate or from earnings at other colleges. A salary estimate for another institution or program would not describe this seminary's students.

Earnings measures are useful only when their population, timing, and definition are clear: for example, whether they represent a median of former students who received federal aid and had recorded earnings. They also cannot capture every outcome of religious education. Applicants with a specific occupation in mind should ask what credential it requires and seek concrete information about alumni pathways and any career advising the seminary offers.
