What are the graduation rates for students at Life Pacific University?

Life Pacific University's reported overall graduation rate is 40%, while its four-year rate is 31% and its six-year rate is 38%. These are cohort measures, not predictions of any individual student's chance of finishing.

Graduation-rate measures follow defined groups of entering students over specified periods; they do not necessarily describe transfer entrants, part-time students, or every graduate program in the same way. The reported first-year retention rate is 73%, measuring a different outcome: whether eligible students return after their first year. Applicants weighing these figures should pay attention to the cohort definition and ask their intended program how often required courses are offered, particularly if they plan to transfer credits or attend part time.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Life Pacific University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures reported as of October 2026 provide a limited look at earnings one year after completion for certain Life Pacific programs. The reported figures are $22,803 for behavioral sciences, $24,739 for Bible or biblical studies, and $25,871 for pastoral counseling and specialized ministries.

These are program-level, one-year earnings measures for the students included in the federal data, not starting-salary offers or promises of what every graduate will make. The figures should not be applied to programs for which no comparable figure is reported. Earnings can also reflect geography, hours worked, further study, and the type of job pursued - particularly in ministry fields, where paid work and volunteer service may overlap. Comparing earnings with likely borrowing and the cost of completing a specific degree is more informative than reading any one figure alone.
