Kent State University at Geauga

What are the graduation rates for students at Kent State University at Geauga?

The reported overall graduation rate for Kent State University at Geauga is 20% in the 2024-25 institutional data. Its reported first-year retention rate is 49%. These figures warrant attention, but neither describes the likelihood of graduation for every student who attends the campus.

Federal graduation-rate measures generally track defined cohorts of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students over a specified period. They can omit many part-time and transfer students and may not fully represent students who begin at a regional campus before completing a degree elsewhere. The separately reported four-year and six-year rates are each 1%; those figures should not be treated as interchangeable with the overall rate because the measures and cohorts may differ.

For an individual applicant, the more useful follow-up is a program-level plan: how often required courses are offered, whether the degree can be completed at Geauga, and what happens to the timeline if a student changes majors or attends part time. Graduation statistics identify an outcome to investigate, not its cause.

These are program-level, one-year figures, not a campus-wide average. They can reflect differences in occupation, credential, hours worked, local labor markets, and whether graduates continue studying. A student comparing majors should also consider program completion rates, licensing requirements, further education, and the cost of attendance. Kent State's career resources can help with planning, but career support is not the same as a verified job-placement outcome.
