What are the graduation rates for students at Millsaps College?

In the 2024-25 reporting data, Millsaps' four-year graduation rate was 54%, while its six-year rate was 57%. These rates track defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking a bachelor's degree; they are not the percentage of every student, including transfers, who eventually graduates.

The small difference between the four- and six-year figures suggests that, for the measured cohort, relatively few additional students completed during those two extra years. It does not explain why other students left or whether they completed degrees elsewhere. The reported first-year retention rate was 58%, a separate measure of how many first-time students returned the next fall.

Students weighing these figures should consider both academic planning and affordability. A personalized degree plan can show whether required courses, accepted transfer credits, and expected aid make a four-year path plausible, but no institutional rate predicts an individual student's outcome.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Millsaps College?

A Millsaps degree does not correspond to a single expected salary. Earnings vary by occupation, location, graduate education, prior experience, and time since completion; a figure measured one year after graduation would capture a different career stage from a figure measured several years later.

When comparing earnings statistics, students should look for the precise population and measure. Federal College Scorecard program earnings, where reportable, generally describe median earnings for a defined group of federally aided former students, not all alumni in a major. Small programs may also have too few qualifying records for a useful public figure. A median means half of the measured group earned more and half earned less.

For career planning, pair any earnings estimate with information about the jobs a major commonly leads to, whether further study is customary, and what internships or work experience the student can pursue. Career-support services are resources for that planning, not evidence that a particular salary or job offer will follow.
