What are the graduation rates for students at King's College?

King's College reports a four-year graduation rate of 52% and a six-year rate of 60% for the relevant first-time student cohorts. These measures follow students who begin at the institution and complete a degree within the stated period; they are not the graduation probability for every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The difference indicates that some students complete after the traditional four-year window. King's reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured first-time cohort returned for the following year. Retention and graduation figures are useful planning indicators, but neither explains why an individual student leaves, transfers or takes longer. Applicants in tightly sequenced majors should ask for a sample four-year course plan and check how often required courses are offered.

What is the earning potential for graduates at King's College?

Federal College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for measured former students who received federal aid. They are not starting-salary offers, and they do not represent every person who studied a major.

Among the reported one-year program figures, accounting is $56,371, finance is $51,640 and business administration is $42,948. Other reported examples include teacher education at $33,203 and psychology at $28,233. These figures describe different fields and measured groups, not the effect of a King's degree by itself.

Early earnings can reflect geography, hours worked, further education and the kinds of jobs graduates enter. Small programs may also have limited publishable results. Students comparing majors should consider program costs, expected additional credentials and longer-term career paths alongside a one-year earnings measure.
