What are the graduation rates for students at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary?

The reported overall graduation rate is 74%. The reported four-year rate is 22%, while the six-year rate is 70%. Read together, these figures indicate that the time window matters when interpreting completion outcomes.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined groups of entering students; they do not describe the eventual outcome of every undergraduate, transfer student, or graduate student. The reported student retention rate is 92%, but retention measures continued enrollment rather than degree completion. Applicants comparing schools should check that they are comparing the same student population and measurement period.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary?

A reliable program-level earnings figure is not available here for the seminary's listed fields of study. That means an applicant cannot use these figures to estimate a typical salary one year after completing a particular NOBTS program.

Earnings data would, in any case, require careful interpretation for ministry degrees: graduates may work in churches, nonprofit organizations, counseling-related roles, or other settings with different compensation structures. A job offer, a placement service, and a reported salary are also different measures. Students weighing career outcomes may find program-specific placement information and the requirements of their intended occupation more useful than an unsupported salary estimate.
