What are the graduation rates for students at Nelson University?

Nelson University's reported overall graduation rate is 42%. Separately reported measures show a 29% four-year rate and a 36% six-year rate. These figures should not be treated as a single group of students progressing from year four to year six: published rates can refer to different entering cohorts or reporting definitions.

Graduation rates typically follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students, so they do not describe the outcomes of every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student. The reported first-year retention rate is 75%; retention measures continued enrollment, not completion. Applicants comparing schools should examine both the cohort definition and the time allowed to graduate, especially if they expect to attend part time, change majors, or bring transfer credit.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Nelson University?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings measured one year after completion for some Nelson University programs. The reported figures include $40,206 for education, general; $36,275 for business administration and management; and $27,891 for Bible or biblical studies.

These are field-level reported outcomes, not starting-salary offers or predictions for an individual graduate. The one-year measurement captures an early point in a career, and results can reflect occupation, location, further study, and the characteristics of graduates included in the calculation. A figure for one field should not be applied to a different major. Students weighing a program should consider these earnings alongside its cost, likely career paths, licensing requirements, and any need for graduate education.
