A single graduation-rate figure would give an incomplete picture of Nazarene Bible College. Federal graduation measures typically follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students, while NBC also serves transfer students and learners whose enrollment patterns may differ from that group.
Earlier reported cohorts show substantial variation in completion outcomes, making an isolated percentage a poor prediction for an individual applicant. A more useful question is how many credits a student would need after transfer evaluation and whether the planned course load allows completion on the desired timeline.
College Scorecard data reports earnings of $39,270 for the theological and ministerial studies field one year after completion. This is an observed outcome for the population covered by that measure, not a starting-salary offer or a forecast for every NBC graduate.
Scorecard earnings measures can exclude graduates who are not working or do not meet the measure's reporting criteria. Ministry compensation also varies by role, location, hours, and whether housing or other benefits are provided. Applicants comparing programs should consider those factors alongside the reported figure, particularly if they expect to pursue part-time or unpaid ministry.
