What are the graduation rates for students at Pfeiffer University?

Pfeiffer's reported six-year graduation rate is 35% for the measured cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking undergraduates. Its four-year rate is 26%. These are cohort outcomes, not predictions of whether an individual student will finish.

Six years is a standard federal reporting window for a bachelor's degree, even though many students plan to finish in four. The reported first-year retention rate is 72%, measuring a different question: whether students returned for their second year. Transfers and part-time entrants may not be represented in the same way in the first-time, full-time graduation cohort.

These figures make degree planning consequential. A student comparing costs should ask the intended department when required courses are offered and whether internships, clinical placements, or prerequisites could extend the schedule. An additional year can materially change total borrowing even when the annual aid offer looks manageable.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pfeiffer University?

Federal College Scorecard program figures describe earnings for measured former students roughly one year after completion; they are not starting-salary offers or guaranteed outcomes for future graduates. The figures are reported as medians for the applicable program and student population, which can be limited by reporting and privacy rules.

Among the reported examples, the one-year figure is $57,389 for registered nursing and $43,216 for business administration. Criminal justice is reported at $36,785, while sports, kinesiology, and physical education is reported at $25,712. Differences can reflect occupation, location, further study, hours worked, and the people included in each measured group; they do not isolate the effect of attending Pfeiffer.

Students should interpret an earnings estimate alongside borrowing, program costs, licensure prospects, and the time needed to complete the degree. Pfeiffer reports career support that includes individual counseling, résumé and interview assistance, job-search resources, employer events, and alumni networking. Availability of those services is not itself evidence of a particular employment outcome.
