Kenrick Glennon Seminary

What are the graduation rates for students at Kenrick Glennon Seminary?

A current institution-wide graduation rate should not be inferred from older Kenrick Glennon Seminary figures. Reported historical four-year and six-year rates were 88% for a 2019 reporting cohort and 63% for a 2020 reporting cohort, but those figures alone do not describe today's students or every academic stage.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally follow defined groups of first-time, full-time undergraduate students. That definition can be a poor fit for evaluating a seminary whose applicants may enter after college, change sponsoring dioceses or leave formation without completing a credential at the institution. The older percentages should not be read as the probability that an individual applicant will graduate or be ordained.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Kenrick Glennon Seminary?

A reliable program-specific earnings figure is not available for drawing a conclusion about Kenrick Glennon Seminary graduates. In particular, an earnings figure for religious education one year after graduation should not be treated as a salary forecast for a seminarian or a newly ordained priest.

Even where federal earnings measures are published, they describe a defined group of former students at a specified time, not a guaranteed result. Priest compensation and living arrangements can depend on a diocese or religious community, while other former students may pursue different work. Applicants evaluating finances should ask their potential sponsor about its actual support and compensation policies rather than rely on a general graduate-salary estimate.
