Meredith College

What are the graduation rates for students at Meredith College?

Meredith College's reported four-year graduation rate is 63%, while its six-year rate is 70%. These measures follow a defined cohort of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or graduate student.

The difference means some students in the measured cohort completed after four years but within six. The reported first-year retention rate is 79%, measuring a different milestone: whether first-time students return the following fall. Neither measure explains why an individual student stays, leaves, or takes longer to finish.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Meredith College?

Program-level College Scorecard figures report median earnings about one year after completion of $33,114 for biology and $34,843 for design and applied arts at Meredith College. These are historical outcomes for graduates included in the federal earnings measure, not starting-salary offers or predictions for future graduates.

One-year earnings are an incomplete way to compare majors. Graduate study, part-time work, the local labor market, and differences in the graduates captured by the measure can affect the result. In particular, a graduate entering professional or graduate school may be at a different career stage from someone beginning full-time work. Prospective students can use these figures as one point of reference alongside program costs, likely borrowing, and the qualifications required for their intended occupation.
