What are the graduation rates for students at Limestone University?

Limestone's reported graduation rates describe students who entered before the university closed, not the prospects of someone enrolling there now. In 2024-25 institutional reporting, its overall graduation rate was 35%, while the reported four-year rate was 23% and the six-year rate was 34%.

These measures follow defined entering cohorts over different periods; they are not interchangeable with the percentage of all students who eventually earned a degree. The reported student retention rate was 64%. The figures warrant attention when assessing the institution's historical outcomes, but they do not, on their own, explain why individual students left or how many completed degrees elsewhere.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Limestone University?

Historical College Scorecard figures provide limited, field-specific information about the earnings of federally aided Limestone students after completing a program. The figures are measured one year after completion; they are not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate.

Reported one-year median earnings included $55,004 for computer and information technology administration and management, $41,094 for business administration, and $39,175 for marketing. Psychology was reported at $30,027 and social work at $27,421. These fields can differ substantially in occupations, further-study patterns, and sample size. Earnings also omit costs, debt, job satisfaction, and longer-term career changes, so they are an incomplete way to judge a degree.
