What are the graduation rates for students at Montreat College?

Montreat College's reported four-year graduation rate is 37%, while its six-year rate is 48%. These measures follow defined entering student cohorts; they do not mean that the same percentage of every current student, transfer student, or graduate student will finish within those periods.

The reported overall graduation measure is 50%, and first-year retention is 59%. Retention typically measures whether first-time, full-time students return the following fall, making it a different outcome from eventual graduation. Taken together, the figures make time to completion a practical question for applicants, particularly those whose finances depend on finishing in four years. Students can ask a program adviser how often required courses are offered and what academic support is available if they fall behind.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Montreat College?

Field-of-study earnings figures offer a limited look at former Montreat students' early income, not a prediction of what a new student will earn. College Scorecard figures reported for one year after completion include approximately $40,504 for business administration and $31,117 for the category labeled "Psychology, Other."

These are program-category outcomes for the graduates captured by the federal measurement, not starting salaries promised to everyone in a major. The categories may include particular credential levels and cohorts, and earnings can reflect occupation, location, additional study, and whether a former student is working full time. Students should compare a figure with the exact degree they intend to pursue and weigh it alongside likely borrowing, career interests, and the time needed to complete that degree.
