Lenoir-Rhyne University

What are the graduation rates for students at Lenoir-Rhyne University?

Lenoir-Rhyne's reported six-year graduation rate is 48%, while its four-year rate is 35%. These measures follow an entering group of first-time, full-time bachelor's students; they do not describe the completion rate of every transfer, part-time or graduate student.

The distinction between the two rates is practical: some students in the measured cohort completed after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, measuring a different outcome - whether first-time students returned for a second year. None of these figures, on its own, explains why an individual student stays, transfers or graduates. Applicants comparing programs should also ask about course availability and the expected sequence for their particular major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lenoir-Rhyne University?

Program-level College Scorecard figures report median earnings one year after completion of $56,396 for the registered-nursing field and $23,411 for the sports, kinesiology and physical-education field. They are field-specific early-career measures, not a salary promised to a new graduate or an average for all Lenoir-Rhyne alumni.

Scorecard earnings reflect graduates represented in federal data and with measurable earnings; they do not capture every graduate or every form of compensation. Results can be affected by the occupations graduates enter, location, hours worked and further study. A one-year figure is particularly limited for fields in which graduates commonly continue their education. Students weighing career outcomes should consider program completion, licensure where relevant, likely debt and longer-term employment alongside the earnings number.
