Graduation-rate comparisons require particular care at Pacific Oaks College because the conventional federal graduation-rate measure follows a defined cohort of first-time, full-time undergraduates. Many Pacific Oaks students enter through other routes, including transfer and graduate study, so that measure cannot describe everyone's path through the college.
The college reported 54 transfer-in undergraduates and five first-time degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates in its 2024-25 enrollment figures. For an applicant, more useful completion questions may be program-specific: how long students in the intended program typically take, how many complete required fieldwork, and whether courses are offered often enough to support the planned schedule. A completion statistic should always be read alongside its cohort definition and measurement period.
Federal College Scorecard field-of-study figures reported for October 2026 put median earnings one year after completion at $34,812 for teacher education and professional development at specified levels and methods, and $37,256 for human development and family studies. These are field-level observations for graduates with measurable earnings, not promised salaries for future students.
One-year earnings capture an early point in a career. They do not establish what a particular graduate will earn, and they can be affected by occupation, location, hours worked, further education, and which graduates appear in the measurement. An applicant considering a licensed profession should compare these figures with the credential required for the job they want and the likely cost of completing that credential.
