Morehouse College

What are the graduation rates for students at Morehouse College?

Morehouse's reported six-year graduation rate is 59%, while its four-year rate is 46%. These measures track completion among defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students; they are not the graduation probabilities of every transfer, part-time, or returning student.

The difference between the rates shows why time to degree matters when comparing colleges: some students complete after the fourth year but within six years. Morehouse also reports an 87% retention rate, a separate measure of students continuing from one fall to the next. Neither retention nor graduation figures explain why an individual student stayed, left, or took longer. Students estimating their own costs should consider how an additional term or year would affect tuition, living expenses, and aid eligibility.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Morehouse College?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings for certain Morehouse programs one year after completion. Among the reported figures, economics is $64,324 and business administration is $46,905; psychology is $25,170. These are program-level observations, not salaries promised to graduates.

The Scorecard's one-year earnings measure is a median for an identifiable group of federally aided completers with recorded earnings. It does not describe every alumnus, and it can omit people whose earnings cannot be observed in the underlying records. Timing also matters: graduates who enter further study, change fields, or build experience may have outcomes quite different from their first year. When comparing majors, students should consider the number of graduates represented, local labor markets, further education, and the cost or borrowing required to complete the degree.
