New Saint Andrews College

What are the graduation rates for students at New Saint Andrews College?

New Saint Andrews College's reported four-year graduation rate was 66%, and its reported six-year rate was also 66%. These are cohort measures: they track groups of first-time, full-time students entering in the relevant years, rather than the percentage of everyone currently enrolled who will graduate.

IPEDS reporting also lists a 74% overall graduation measure and an 85% student retention rate. Retention measures continued enrollment from one year to the next; it is not a graduation rate. The figures should not be combined into a single estimate for an individual student, especially a transfer or part-time applicant. At a small college, changes in the outcomes of a relatively modest number of students can noticeably affect a cohort percentage.

What is the earning potential for graduates at New Saint Andrews College?

Graduate earnings should not be inferred from New Saint Andrews College's graduation rate or from its curriculum. Earnings measures, when available, require careful attention to who was counted, whether the figure is a median or an average, and how long after attendance it was measured.

For applicants comparing career paths, a useful next step is to ask about graduates in the specific program and occupation of interest, including further study and employment outside the field. Even a reliable earnings figure would describe a past group, not promise an individual salary; location, graduate education, occupation, and time in the workforce all affect pay.
