What are the graduation rates for students at Methodist College?

Methodist College's reported four-year and six-year graduation rates are each 20% in the 2024-25 institutional figures. These rates describe specified first-time, full-time degree-seeking student cohorts, not every person who attends the college.

That distinction is particularly important here: the college enrolled far more transfer-in students than first-time students in the reported intake. A student who transfers to Methodist College is generally outside the conventional first-time cohort used for these rates. The reported overall rate was 75% in the preceding year, a large change that warrants caution when interpreting percentages drawn from small cohorts. Applicants comparing completion outcomes should ask their intended program for results relevant to transfer entrants, part-time students, or their specific degree, as applicable.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Methodist College?

For the registered nursing field, College Scorecard data dated October 2026 report median earnings of $57,684 one year after completion. This is a field-of-study measure for the graduates represented in that federal dataset, not a salary offer to an incoming nursing student.

One-year earnings can be useful for comparing early career outcomes, but they do not describe every graduate. The measure depends on the students included in federal records and does not capture all reasons earnings vary, such as hours worked, location, prior experience, or additional education. It should be considered alongside program costs, completion outcomes, and any licensing requirements.

The college also reports access to individual and group career counseling, résumé assistance, interview workshops, a job bank, job fairs, employer recruitment, and alumni networking. Those are services students can use; their availability should not be confused with a verified job-placement guarantee.
