What are the graduation rates for students at Livingstone College?

Livingstone College's reported six-year graduation rate is 28% for the measured entering cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree. Its four-year rate is 18%. These figures describe outcomes for particular past cohorts, not the probability that any individual applicant will graduate.

The college also reports a 71% student retention rate, a different measure concerned with students continuing from one year to the next. Graduation-rate measures generally exclude students who first enrolled elsewhere and later transferred in, so transfer applicants should not read the published cohort rate as their own completion forecast.

The difference between the four- and six-year rates makes degree planning consequential. Prospective students can ask their intended department about course sequencing, advising and the frequency of required classes, then consider how an additional year of enrollment would affect their budget.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Livingstone College?

A College Scorecard program-level measure reports $22,204 in earnings one year after completion for Livingstone College students in business administration, management and operations. It is a reported outcome for the applicable federally aided student cohort in that program, not a starting-salary offer or an earnings prediction for every business graduate.

One-year earnings capture only an early point in a career. They may reflect differences in occupation, location, hours worked, further education and the composition of the students included in the measure. Applicants comparing programs should consider earnings alongside likely borrowing, program costs, completion outcomes and the work they want to pursue.
