Lane College

What are the graduation rates for students at Lane College?

Lane College's reported six-year graduation rate is 18%, while its four-year rate is 10%, according to IPEDS 2024-25 figures. These measures track a defined group of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they are not the percentage of all students, including transfers and part-time students, who eventually earn a degree.

The six-year figure is well below the roughly 51% national average reported in the same comparison. Lane's reported student retention rate is 44%, another indicator worth considering when planning an academic path. Neither statistic, on its own, explains why students leave or take longer. Applicants can ask how advising, required-course scheduling, and academic support work in the major they intend to pursue.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lane College?

College Scorecard program figures describe median earnings for federally aided completers about one year after finishing a program; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. In the figures reported for Lane College, the one-year median is $29,663 for criminal justice and corrections and $21,732 for biology.

Other reported examples are $24,335 for multi/interdisciplinary studies, $23,937 for sociology, $18,143 for business administration and management, and $15,527 for communication and media studies. These amounts concern different groups of former students and should not be treated as a ranking of teaching quality. Early earnings can reflect local job markets, graduate study, part-time work, and the mix of occupations graduates enter.

Lane reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview practice, job-search resources, employer contact, and alumni networking. Those services are useful to distinguish from measured employment or earnings outcomes: access to career assistance does not guarantee a job offer.
