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.
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.
