What are the graduation rates for students at Mid-America Christian University?

MACU's reported overall graduation rate is 44%. Its reported four-year rate is 29%, while a separately reported six-year measure is 39%. These figures should not be treated as successive results for every student currently enrolled: graduation measures can use different entering cohorts and eligibility rules.

Federal graduation-rate measures typically focus on first-time, full-time students who enter a particular cohort. They do not describe the experience of every transfer student, part-time learner or returning adult. MACU's reported first-year retention rate is 65%, another measure to consider when asking about academic advising and continuity from the first year to the second.

For a more personally useful estimate, applicants should ask their program how often its students enroll part time, how required courses rotate, and what internships or clinical requirements may affect time to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Mid-America Christian University?

College Scorecard program data report median earnings about one year after completion for certain groups of federally aided MACU completers. Reported figures include $54,740 for management sciences and quantitative methods, $41,163 for business administration, $35,995 for health and medical administrative services, and $29,631 for psychology.

These are program-level observations, not starting-salary offers or predictions for individual graduates. They may combine people in different jobs or locations, and they do not measure earnings growth, job satisfaction or the cost of completing the degree. Small cohorts and privacy rules also limit which programs can be represented. A student comparing majors should consider the credential level, likely occupations, debt and local labor market alongside any earnings figure.
