Pomona College

What are the graduation rates for students at Pomona College?

Pomona College's reported six-year graduation rate is 93% for the relevant cohort of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students. That is a cohort measure - not a prediction that any individual student will finish.

The reported four-year rate is 61%, while first-year retention is 98%. Four- and six-year rates can reflect different entering cohorts and measurement windows, so they should not be read as two checkpoints for every student in the same class. Transfer students are not represented in the standard first-time-student graduation cohort. Students planning study away, a change of major or transferred coursework should assess their own degree timeline with an academic adviser.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Pomona College?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report one-year-after-completion median earnings of $110,738 for Pomona computer science graduates and $67,038 for economics graduates in the populations represented by those measures. These are historical observations, not starting-salary offers or forecasts for future graduates.

Federal field-of-study earnings measures generally cover graduates with federal-aid records who have measurable earnings and meet the measure's other inclusion rules; they do not describe every person who studied a major. Small graduating classes can also limit what is published. Earnings one year after completion leave out later career changes, graduate study, differences in hours worked and the cost of living where alumni work. Students comparing majors should use the figures alongside information about occupations, internships and their own plans.
