The familiar four- and six-year college graduation rates are not appropriate measures of New Brunswick Theological Seminary's graduate programs. Those federal measures generally track first-time undergraduate degree seekers, while the seminary's students pursue graduate theological credentials.
A more useful comparison would examine completion within each degree separately, alongside the program's expected length and whether students commonly enroll part time. Applicants can ask the seminary for recent Master of Divinity or doctoral completion information that identifies the entering cohort and the period measured.
No reliable program-level earnings figure is available here for New Brunswick Theological Seminary graduates one year after completion. A salary claim would be especially easy to misread at a seminary: graduates may work in congregations, nonprofit organizations, chaplaincy, or other settings with different pay structures.
Even where earnings statistics are published, they describe a defined group at a particular point in time - not a promised salary for an individual student. Prospective students comparing programs may find it more useful to examine likely roles, any required ordination or professional credentials, and the total borrowing needed for their chosen path.
