Missouri Valley College

What are the graduation rates for students at Missouri Valley College?

Missouri Valley College's reported six-year graduation rate is 22% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time students pursuing a bachelor's degree. Its reported four-year rate is 16%. These figures describe earlier entering cohorts followed over different periods; they do not predict whether a particular student will graduate.

The six-year result is well below the reported national and Missouri institutional averages, both near 50%. The college's reported first-year retention rate is 53%, meaning that just over half of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Retention and graduation measure different outcomes, and neither figure explains on its own why students leave, transfer, pause their studies, or take longer to finish.

Transfer students and students who begin part time are not represented in the standard first-time, full-time graduation cohort in the same way. Applicants can use these figures to frame specific questions about course availability, advising, academic support, and the usual time to completion in their intended major.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Missouri Valley College?

The reported College Scorecard figure for Missouri Valley College's business administration, management, and operations field is $32,177 in earnings measured about one year after program completion. It is a program-level outcome for a measured group, not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for every graduate.

College Scorecard field-of-study earnings figures generally reflect a defined set of federally aided former students with available earnings records; they do not capture everyone who attended a program. The figure also cannot show whether someone works in the field they studied, works full time, or later earns more. Students comparing programs should consider the cohort and measurement period, as well as costs and borrowing, rather than treating one earnings figure as a complete measure of value.
