What are the graduation rates for students at Prescott College?

Prescott College's reported six-year graduation rate is 56%, while its four-year rate is 36%. These measures follow a defined group of first-time, full-time students pursuing a degree; they do not describe every transfer student, part-time student or graduate student.

The difference between the two rates means a portion of the measured cohort finished after four years but within six. Prescott's reported first-year retention rate is 74%, a separate measure of whether students return for a second year. Because entering cohorts are small, changes involving relatively few students can noticeably affect year-to-year percentages. Applicants comparing graduation rates should also ask their program how often required courses run and how transfer credits affect an individual completion plan.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Prescott College?

A single salary figure would not adequately describe the career possibilities associated with Prescott College's varied programs. Earnings depend on occupation, location, prior experience, further education and the point at which income is measured.

Prescott reports practical career support, including individual career planning for undergraduates, résumé assistance, interview preparation, career-interest assessment, a job bank and job fairs. Those services are not employment or salary outcomes. Students weighing a program's likely financial return can compare the jobs it prepares them for, any licensing steps required and the debt they personally expect to take on. Published earnings statistics, when available for a specific program, should be read with their measurement date and student population in mind.
