What are the graduation rates for students at Laurus College?

Laurus College's reported overall graduation rate for the 2024-25 IPEDS reporting cycle is 43%. Its reported four-year rate is 18%, while the six-year rate is 50%. These measures should not be read as three outcomes for one identical group of students: federal graduation-rate measures can track different entering cohorts and use different time windows.

The figures indicate that completion and time to degree deserve attention in an enrollment decision, but they do not explain why an individual student did or did not finish. Laurus also reports a 79% student retention rate, a measure of continued enrollment rather than graduation. Ask for the completion definition and recent outcome information for the specific credential and attendance pattern you are considering.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Laurus College?

Earnings can help students assess a program, but they need a precise definition to be useful. A figure measured one year after completion, for example, describes an early-career period; it is not a starting-salary offer or a prediction of what every graduate will make.

When comparing Laurus programs with alternatives, check whether any published earnings figure is a median or an average, which students are included, how long after enrollment or completion it was measured, and whether the sample is large enough to report. Compare that information with the program's total cost, likely borrowing, and the employment requirements of the occupation you want.
