What are the graduation rates for students at Miles College?

Miles College's reported six-year graduation rate is 16% in the 2024-25 institutional data, while its four-year rate is 10%. These figures are important planning indicators, but they describe defined groups of students rather than the probability that any particular applicant will graduate.

The conventional six-year measure follows first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree and asks whether they completed within 150% of the program's expected four-year length. It does not describe all transfer students, and it can miss students who complete a degree elsewhere. The reported first-year retention rate is 56%, a separate measure of how many students return to the institution after their initial year.

For a prospective student, the practical questions are how reliably required courses are scheduled, what academic support is available, and how a realistic course load fits with work and finances. The published rates alone do not establish why students left or how those factors affected completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Miles College?

Program-level College Scorecard figures reported for Miles include $18,062 for biology and $27,075 for criminal justice, measured one year after completion. These are reported outcomes for the applicable federally aided former-student cohorts, not starting-salary offers or predictions for everyone who earns those degrees.

One-year earnings reflect a short period early in a career. They may be affected by employment patterns, graduate study, geography, and the number of graduates included in a program's reporting group. A student comparing majors should consider these figures alongside the work a degree prepares them to do, any additional education or licensing it requires, and the total cost of completing it.
