What are the graduation rates for students at Lincoln University?

Lincoln University's reported six-year graduation rate is 44% for the relevant first-time, full-time bachelor's-degree cohort. Its four-year rate is 30%. These are cohort measures - not predictions of whether a particular student will finish - and they do not describe the completion experience of all transfer or part-time students.

The additional time allowed by the six-year measure matters: it captures students who finish after the conventional four-year schedule. Lincoln's reported first-year retention rate is 73%, measuring whether students in the relevant first-time cohort returned the following fall, not whether they eventually graduated. Applicants comparing schools should use the same cohort definition and reporting period across institutions. A student planning a degree can also ask how often required courses are offered and what academic advising is available if their schedule changes.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Lincoln University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited view of earnings among federally aided graduates who are working and not enrolled one year after completing a credential. They are not starting-salary offers to every graduate, and they should not be treated as a forecast for an individual student.

Reported one-year median earnings include $65,303 for nursing, $39,334 for criminal justice and corrections, and $29,235 for business administration-related study. The figures refer to different fields and may reflect differences in occupation, location, further study, and the number of graduates included. Small cohorts and privacy protections can also limit what field-level results show.

Lincoln reports career support that includes individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, job fairs, and access to job listings. Those services may help with a search, but their availability is not itself evidence of a particular employment or salary outcome.
