What are the graduation rates for students at Pillar College?

Pillar College's reported overall graduation rate is 38%, while its reported six-year rate is 30%. These figures describe defined groups of students over specified measurement periods; they are not predictions of an individual applicant's chance of graduating.

The reported four-year rate is 0%. Readers should not add or directly compare the four-year, six-year, and overall figures as though they were stages of one cohort: graduation measures can use different entering groups and definitions. The reported first-year retention rate is 74%, indicating the share of students in the relevant cohort who continued at the institution into the next year.

Prospective students - particularly transfers and part-time students - should ask for completion information relevant to their enrollment pattern. Traditional first-time, full-time graduation measures may not describe the path of a student who arrives with credits, changes enrollment intensity, or pauses study.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pillar College?

Federal program-level earnings figures offer a limited look at early outcomes for some Pillar College completers. The reported figure for business administration is $47,330 approximately one year after completion; for general psychology, it is $42,475 at the same point.

These are program-specific reported earnings measures, not starting-salary offers or guarantees for all graduates. They do not establish what a particular student will earn, and they should not be treated as figures for every graduate in a major. Job location, prior experience, further study, occupation, and the number of graduates with reportable earnings can all affect interpretation. Comparable one-year figures are not available here for every field Pillar offers, so an applicant should not infer that an unlisted major has higher or lower earnings.

For support during the job search, Pillar reports individual career counseling for undergraduates, résumé preparation, and interview workshops. Those services are distinct from measured employment outcomes.
