What are the graduation rates for students at Kentucky Christian University?

Overall, only 34% of students graduate, placing the university in the bottom 15% nationwide for completion rates. Male students experience even lower success, with just 26% graduating, which ranks in the bottom 10%. Female students fare somewhat better; their graduation rate is 52%, though this still situates them in the lower 35% nationally.

The university's four-year graduation rate stands at 29%, indicating that fewer than one in three students complete their bachelor's degrees within the typical timeframe. Extending the window to six years only raises the rate modestly to 34%, demonstrating challenges in student retention and progress. This difficulty is echoed in the retention rate itself, which is a strikingly low 45%, ranking in the bottom 5% of institutions and signaling issues with student persistence from one year to the next.

These figures highlight persistent obstacles for students striving to complete their degrees at Kentucky Christian University, underscoring the importance of prospective students carefully considering these outcomes in their decision-making process.
