Loras College

What are the graduation rates for students at Loras College?

Loras College's reported six-year graduation rate is 68% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohort. Its four-year rate is 44%. The difference matters to students budgeting for a traditional four-year degree: completing within six years and completing within four years are not the same outcome.

The reported first-year retention rate is 82%, meaning that most students in the measured first-time cohort returned for a second year. Graduation and retention rates describe past groups, not an individual student's probability of finishing. They also do not capture every transfer student's path. Applicants comparing colleges should pay particular attention to four-year completion and to whether their intended major has courses that must be taken in sequence.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Loras College?

College Scorecard program figures provide one-year-after-completion earnings estimates for some Loras fields of study. These are historical median earnings for the covered graduates, not starting-salary offers or predictions for a new student.

Reported examples include finance at $43,102, accounting at $42,323, marketing at $42,509, business administration at $40,601, and psychology at $32,590. Differences between programs can reflect occupations, graduate-school enrollment, location, and the characteristics of the graduates included in the measure; they should not be attributed to the major alone.

The one-year measure is particularly limited for careers that commonly require graduate education or licensure. Students can use it alongside program costs, likely borrowing, internship opportunities, and longer-term career information rather than treating any single figure as a return-on-investment guarantee.
