Montana Bible College

What are the graduation rates for students at Montana Bible College?

Graduation rates describe earlier entering groups, not the likelihood that any particular student will finish. Historical institutional figures report a 67% four-year graduation rate and a 67% six-year rate for the cohorts represented in 2020 reporting. With a very small entering class, those percentages can change sharply from cohort to cohort.

A separately reported student retention rate is 43%. Retention measures whether students return for a subsequent year; it is not a graduation rate. Applicants comparing outcomes should check the reporting year, the number of students in each cohort and whether a measure includes only first-time, full-time students. Transfers and part-time students may have different paths to completion.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Montana Bible College?

A dependable, program-level earnings figure should not be inferred for a Montana Bible College graduate from the available institutional statistics. In particular, an earnings measure for a field of study one year after completion would describe a specified group of former students at a specified point in time - not a promised starting salary for everyone in that major.

Small programs can make published earnings especially difficult to interpret: privacy protections may limit what is reported, and a figure may not capture unpaid ministry, further study, part-time work or later career changes. Students comparing financial outcomes should consider likely occupations and their own expected borrowing alongside any eventual earnings estimate.
