What are the graduation rates for students at Ohio Christian University?

Ohio Christian University's reported six-year graduation rate is 50% for the applicable first-time, full-time student cohort. Its reported four-year rate is 42%. These figures follow defined groups of entering students; they do not describe every transfer, part-time, or returning adult student.

A separately reported overall graduation measure is 34%. Because completion measures can use different cohorts and definitions, it should not be treated as though it were the same group measured at a different point in time. The reported first-year retention rate is 62%, meaning that about six in ten students in the relevant cohort returned the following fall.

Applicants should ask for outcomes specific to their intended credential and attendance pattern. A working adult in an online program, for example, may have a different path to completion from a first-time residential undergraduate.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Ohio Christian University?

College Scorecard field-of-study figures provide a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion. Among Ohio Christian University programs with a reported figure, the median was $43,911 for business administration and $34,222 for religion or religious studies.

Other reported one-year medians include $30,372 for liberal arts and general studies, $26,903 for psychology, and $22,940 for teacher education focused on specific levels and methods. These are program-level measures for the federally aided students included in the Scorecard calculation - not starting-salary offers, predictions for every graduate, or a measure of lifetime earnings.

Small program populations, the mix of full-time and part-time work, occupation, location, and further education can all affect how useful a one-year figure is to an individual applicant. Compare earnings alongside program cost, expected borrowing, licensure requirements, and the kinds of jobs graduates seek.
