Laurel Business Institute's reported overall graduation rate is 69%, and its reported student retention rate is 76%. These are different measures: graduation follows a defined entering group to completion, while retention tracks whether students continue from one reporting period to the next.
Federal graduation-rate reporting commonly focuses on first-time, full-time students completing within a specified period based on the normal length of their credential. It therefore may not describe the experience of transfer students or every part-time enrollee. The reported graduation rate has varied across cohorts, so applicants comparing programs should ask for completion figures specific to their credential and the years measured.
Career outcomes are best evaluated for the specific program and occupation a student is considering, rather than inferred from an institution-wide salary claim. Earnings can differ substantially by credential, employer, work hours, location and time since leaving school.
When comparing published earnings figures, check whether they describe graduates or all former students, whether they are a median or an average, and how long after attendance they were measured. Federal College Scorecard earnings measures, for example, describe defined groups of former students who received federal aid; they are not a guaranteed starting salary. Program completion, licensure eligibility and the cost of borrowing provide additional context for any earnings figure.
