What are the graduation rates for students at Peirce College?

Peirce College's reported overall graduation rate was 10% in the 2024-25 IPEDS data. The reported four-year and six-year figures were each 50%, but these figures should not be treated as three measurements of the same students.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined entry cohorts and time periods. They can be particularly limited for evaluating a college with many transfer and adult students: people who entered with previous credits are not necessarily represented in the standard first-time-student cohort. Peirce reported 144 transfer-in degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates, compared with 14 first-time entrants, in the cited enrollment data.

The figures warrant attention, but they do not predict an individual student's likelihood of finishing. A prospective student can get a more relevant estimate by asking for a degree audit based on accepted credits and a realistic course-by-course completion schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Peirce College?

College Scorecard program-level figures dated October 2026 provide a limited view of earnings approximately one year after completion for qualifying former students. They are not starting-salary offers, figures for every graduate, or guarantees of future income.

Reported figures include $50,107 for business administration, management and operations; $49,569 for computer and information sciences; and $47,491 for accounting and related services. The corresponding figures were $41,043 for health and medical administrative services and $36,348 for legal support services.

These amounts concern specific fields and the population captured by the federal measure, not everyone who studied at Peirce. Program-level results can vary with occupation, prior work experience, location, continued education, and the number of former students represented. Students comparing programs should consider the work each credential prepares them to pursue alongside the earnings figure.
