Randolph-Macon's reported four-year graduation rate is 63%, while its six-year rate is 70%. These are completion measures for defined cohorts of first-time, full-time degree-seeking students, not a prediction for any individual applicant.
The reported first-year retention rate is 84%, meaning that most students in the measured entering group returned the following fall. The difference between the four- and six-year graduation figures shows that some students complete after the standard four-year period. Transfers, part-time enrollment, changes of major, and program sequencing can affect an individual timeline; the published cohort rates do not capture every student pathway in the same way.
Federal College Scorecard program data report earnings for some Randolph-Macon fields one year after completion. Among the reported figures are $42,787 for business or commerce, $38,559 for political science and government, and $36,402 for biology.
The same one-year measure lists $35,485 for psychology, $35,457 for communication and media studies, and $29,681 for English. These are program-level figures for the federally aided graduates included in the relevant earnings measure, not starting-salary offers or earnings promised to everyone with that major. The figures can reflect differences in cohort size, employment, further study, occupation, and location. They are most useful alongside information about borrowing, graduate-school plans, and the kinds of jobs graduates enter.
