Knox College

What are the graduation rates for students at Knox College?

Knox's reported four-year graduation rate is 49%, while its six-year rate is 68%. These are cohort measures: they track eligible first-time, full-time students entering in an earlier year, not all students currently enrolled or all transfer students.

The difference means that some students in the measured cohort completed after the fourth year but within six years. It does not, by itself, explain why individual students took longer. Knox's reported first-year retention rate is 83%, indicating the share of the measured first-time cohort that returned the following year.

For an applicant, the practical cost question is whether a proposed course plan is likely to fit within four years. A longer path can add living expenses and potentially another term of tuition, even when a six-year completion rate appears comparatively strong.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Knox College?

Federal College Scorecard program figures report earnings for certain Knox fields of study approximately one year after completion. They are historical outcomes for measured former students, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a new applicant.

In the supplied one-year program figures, economics is reported at $37,736 and psychology at $24,849. Biology is reported at $21,960, while teacher education focused on particular grade levels or methods is reported at $32,439. These figures should not be compared as though graduates entered identical jobs, locations, or levels of further study.

Program-level earnings measures typically cover only former students who meet the federal data system's inclusion criteria; small groups and later enrollment in graduate school can further limit what a number reveals. An applicant comparing majors should consider likely occupations, graduate-school requirements, debt, and earnings over a longer period alongside any one-year figure.

Knox's career services are a separate consideration from these outcomes. Available support includes individual career counseling, résumé and interview preparation, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Access to those services does not establish a particular employment or earnings result.
