Menlo College

What are the graduation rates for students at Menlo College?

Menlo College's reported four-year graduation rate is 37%, while its six-year rate is 54%. These rates describe outcomes for defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students - not the probability that any particular student, including a transfer or part-time student, will graduate.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students completed after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 70%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in the measured cohort returned the following fall. None of these figures alone explains why a student left, transferred, paused enrollment, or took longer to finish. Applicants weighing cost should consider both the four-year plan for their major and the financial effect of an additional term or year.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Menlo College?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures offer a limited view of earnings associated with some Menlo College programs. The reported figures are measured one year after completion; they are not starting-salary offers, a forecast for current applicants, or a measure of everyone who studied a subject.

Among fields with reported figures, accounting is listed at $62,547 and finance at $56,905. Business administration is listed at $45,971, marketing at $45,791, and psychology at $34,347. These are field-specific reported earnings figures, not a college-wide average. The published field-of-study measure is typically a median for graduates who meet the Scorecard's reporting criteria; it excludes people outside the measured population.

Employment location, further study, occupation, prior experience, and the size of a reporting group can affect comparisons. Students should use these figures alongside program costs, likely borrowing, and the kinds of jobs they actually hope to pursue. Menlo reports career-center services including counseling, résumé and interview help, employer recruiting, job fairs, and alumni networking; access to those services is distinct from a verified job outcome.
