Standard four-year and six-year undergraduate graduation rates do not meaningfully describe completion at this primarily graduate institution. Those federal measures follow particular cohorts of first-time, full-time undergraduates; the institute recorded zero first-time degree-seeking undergraduate entrants in 2024-25.
A prospective master's student should instead ask the specific program for recent completion figures, the time graduates took to finish, and how students who changed enrollment status or left the program are counted. Those details would be more informative than comparing the institute with undergraduate colleges using a four-year graduation rate.
College Scorecard field-of-study data reported an earnings figure of $43,313 one year after completion for International Relations and National Security Studies. It is a figure for a reported field and measurement period, not a salary promise for every Middlebury Institute graduate or every international-affairs job.
The figure should not be described as an average or median without confirming the definition attached to the underlying Scorecard measure. Federal field-of-study earnings measures can also be limited to graduates who meet particular aid, employment, and reporting criteria. Location, prior work experience, occupation, later earnings growth, and the cost of the degree all matter when interpreting a one-year result. Applicants comparing programs should seek field-specific outcomes and examine both pay and employment type.
