The reported overall graduation rate for Kent State University at East Liverpool is 26% in the 2024-25 institutional data. The reported first-year retention rate is 33%. These figures warrant attention, but neither describes the likelihood that any individual student will finish a specific program.
IPEDS graduation measures follow defined groups of entering students over set periods. They do not capture every eventual outcome for transfer students, part-time students or students who complete a degree after moving to another campus. The reported four-year and six-year figures are both zero for their respective measured cohorts; those figures should not be read as a claim that no East Liverpool student ever completes a bachelor's degree.
Applicants can make these numbers more useful by asking their intended program about its own completion measures, required course sequence and whether students commonly finish at East Liverpool or transition to another Kent State campus.
College Scorecard field-of-study figures report earnings measured one year after graduation, not a guaranteed starting salary. The reported figures associated with East Liverpool include $36,445 for liberal arts and general studies, $30,737 for criminal justice and corrections, and $30,631 for communication and media studies.
Other reported one-year figures are $26,258 for psychology and $23,648 for English language and literature. These are field-level reported measures, not promises about what every graduate of an East Liverpool-based program earns. The available figures do not establish a typical salary for every program offered locally, and outcomes can differ with degree level, occupation, work hours, location and further education.
Students comparing fields should also consider program costs, licensing requirements and the time needed to enter a profession. A one-year earnings measure is a short-term snapshot, not a measure of lifetime return.
