Lincoln Memorial University

What are the graduation rates for students at Lincoln Memorial University?

LMU's reported four-year graduation rate is 37%, and its six-year rate is 47%. These measures follow a defined group of first-time, full-time undergraduates rather than every student who enrolls, so they do not describe the completion experience of all transfers, part-time students or professional students.

The separately reported overall graduation rate is 50%; it should not be added to, or treated as interchangeable with, the four- and six-year figures. LMU's reported student retention rate is 72%, a measure of continuation rather than degree completion. For an individual applicant, the most useful follow-up is a semester-by-semester degree plan that accounts for prerequisite sequences, required placements and the likely cost of any additional term.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lincoln Memorial University?

Federal College Scorecard program data report median earnings measured about one year after completion for certain LMU programs. The reported figures are $50,361 for registered nursing and related nursing fields and $32,320 for teacher education and professional development for specific levels and methods.

These are program-level medians for the federally aided graduates included in the measure, not starting salaries promised to every graduate. Earnings can vary with location, hours worked, prior experience, licensure and whether a graduate continues studying. A one-year measure also cannot show long-term earnings growth. Applicants comparing degrees should consider these figures alongside program cost, borrowing, completion and licensure requirements.
