In 2024-25 institutional reporting, Montserrat's four-year graduation rate was 46%, while its six-year rate was 53%. These measures follow defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students; they do not describe every transfer or part-time student's likelihood of graduating.
The reported first-year retention rate was 91%, a different measure that tracks whether students continued into the following year. A relatively high retention figure and a lower graduation figure can coexist because they answer different questions. Prospective students should pay attention to course sequencing and annual costs when estimating what an additional year of study might mean for them.
Field-of-study earnings figures associated with Montserrat report income measured one year after graduation. The listed amounts include $20,589 for fine and studio arts, $18,619 for graphic communications, and $16,029 for design and applied arts.
These are field-level observations, not salaries promised to graduates. The figures do not establish what every alumnus earns, and the available summary does not fully identify the underlying cohort or whether each figure is a median or another measure. Early-career income can also reflect freelance work, part-time employment, further study, and location. Students weighing the cost of a degree should use these figures as limited context alongside portfolio development, career support, and their own financing plan.
