Pacific Rim Christian University's reported overall graduation rate for 2024-25 is 45%. Its reported four-year graduation rate is 23%, while the six-year figure is 36%. These measures should not be treated as interchangeable: they can use different cohorts, time windows, or completion definitions.
The reported first-year student retention rate is 78%. Retention measures continued enrollment over a shorter period, not degree completion. Because the university is small, changes involving relatively few students can noticeably move a percentage from one reporting year to another. Applicants comparing outcomes should check the cohort and degree level behind each rate, particularly if they expect to enroll part time or transfer in.
A reliable program-level earnings figure is not established here for Pacific Rim Christian University's reported fields of study. Applicants should therefore avoid treating an institution-wide salary claim - or pay in a particular ministry job - as a demonstrated outcome of one of its degrees.
Earnings measures are most useful when their definition is clear: who was counted, whether the statistic is a median or mean, and how long after leaving school income was measured. They can also miss unpaid ministry, further study, and differences in location or hours worked. Students evaluating a program's financial implications can compare its full cost with the requirements and typical compensation of the occupations they hope to pursue.
