Luther College

What are the graduation rates for students at Luther College?

Luther's reported six-year graduation rate is 71% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking students. Its four-year rate is 61%. These figures describe past cohorts, not the probability that any particular new student will graduate.

The six-year measure allows more time for students to finish than the four-year measure; it is not a separate degree. Luther's reported first-year retention rate is 77%, indicating the share of the relevant entering cohort that returned the following year. Transfer students and students who began part time are not necessarily represented in the standard first-time, full-time graduation-rate cohort. Applicants should consider these outcomes alongside the course sequence, advising, and costs of their own intended major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Luther College?

College Scorecard program figures offer a limited view of earnings measured about one year after completion, rather than a forecast of an individual student's salary. The reported figures vary substantially by field.

For example, the available one-year figures include $66,195 for computer science, $63,140 for nursing, $55,758 for accounting, and $40,489 for teacher education. These numbers should not be read as guaranteed starting salaries or compared without considering differences in occupation, location, further study, and the graduates captured by each measure.

Program-level federal earnings data generally reflect graduates who can be matched to the relevant earnings records, and some programs have too few reportable observations for a published figure. One year is also a short window: graduates entering further education or fields with slower early-career earnings growth may follow different paths. Students comparing programs should pair earnings data with curriculum, licensure requirements, internship access, and likely borrowing.
