What are the graduation rates for students at New College of Florida?

New College's reported six-year graduation rate is 67% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. Its four-year rate is 58%. These rates follow an entering group over different periods; they do not include every transfer student or describe the likelihood of graduation for a particular applicant.

The reported first-year retention rate is 76%, meaning roughly three-quarters of the measured first-time cohort returned the following fall. Completion and retention rates are useful points of comparison, but they cannot by themselves explain why students leave, finish later or transfer elsewhere. A prospective transfer student should ask for outcomes specific to transfers if those are important to the decision.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New College of Florida?

College Scorecard program-level figures for New College report earnings measured one year after completion for some fields, not a salary that every graduate can expect. The reported figure for liberal arts and sciences, general studies and humanities is $18,003; for biological and physical sciences, it is $25,771.

Program earnings measures typically cover graduates who meet the federal data system's reporting criteria, rather than every person who studied a field. Small programs, further study, part-time work and differences in occupation or location can all affect what a one-year figure reveals. Students considering graduate school or a career with a longer training period should be particularly cautious about treating early earnings as a measure of lifetime return.

New College offers practical career support, including individual counseling, résumé preparation, interview assistance, job-search resources and employer events. Those services are opportunities to use, not verified employment outcomes. Applicants can ask the career office how it supports internships and employers in their intended field.
