Lincoln University-Missouri

What are the graduation rates for students at Lincoln University-Missouri?

Lincoln University's reported four-year graduation rate is 10%, and its six-year rate is 20%. These figures describe completion within specified periods for the relevant entering student cohorts; they do not predict whether an individual student will graduate.

A separately reported overall graduation rate is 21%. The measures should not be treated as interchangeable because graduation-rate tables can differ in cohort, credential, or reporting method. The reported student retention rate is 60%, another indicator worth considering alongside completion: it concerns continued enrollment, not graduation. Transfer students, part-time students, and students who finish elsewhere may not be represented in the standard first-time-student graduation measure in the way a reader expects.

For an applicant, the practical question is how often required courses are offered and what advising is available to keep a chosen degree on schedule - particularly if employment, commuting, or transfer credits could affect time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lincoln University-Missouri?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings roughly one year after completion for graduates covered by its reporting methodology. They are useful for comparing reported outcomes by field, but they are not starting-salary offers or estimates for every graduate.

Among the reported fields, the one-year median earnings figure is $53,794 for registered nursing and related nursing study. The corresponding figure is $35,303 for general agriculture. Business administration is reported at $32,665, while teacher education for specific levels and methods is reported at $30,024. These are different programs with different career paths, so the figures should not be interpreted as a ranking of academic quality.

Federal earnings measures depend on which former students can be matched to earnings records and on privacy-reporting thresholds. They do not fully describe self-employment, later career growth, graduate study, regional living costs, or whether graduates work in their field. Students comparing programs should consider likely debt and licensing requirements alongside earnings.
