Luther Rice College & Seminary

What are the graduation rates for students at Luther Rice College & Seminary?

Luther Rice's reported first-year retention rate is 50%. Retention measures whether students in the defined entering cohort return the following year; it is not a graduation rate and does not describe every undergraduate or graduate student.

Historical graduation-rate figures for the institution have varied considerably. They should be interpreted cautiously because the first-time undergraduate cohorts are small: the latest reported entering class included eight enrolled first-time students. Conventional four- and six-year graduation measures also exclude many transfer entrants and therefore cannot, on their own, describe completion across Luther Rice's entire student population.

Applicants comparing outcomes should ask for completion information specific to their degree level and enrollment pattern, particularly if they expect to study part time or transfer substantial credit.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Luther Rice College & Seminary?

A College Scorecard field-of-study figure reports $36,606 in earnings for Bible/Biblical Studies one year after completion. This is an observed outcome for the population captured by that federal measure, not a salary offer, starting-pay promise, or estimate for every Luther Rice student.

The timing matters: earnings one year after completion can differ substantially from later-career earnings. The figure also does not account for every distinction a prospective student may care about, such as ministry work, part-time employment, graduate enrollment, location, or the size of the group represented. Compare it with the cost and career path of the specific credential rather than treating it as a forecast of personal income.
