What are the graduation rates for students at Regent University?

Regent's reported four-year graduation rate is 47%, while its six-year rate is 58%. Its reported first-year retention rate is 75%, measuring the share of the relevant entering cohort that returned the following year.

Federal graduation-rate measures follow defined groups of first-time, full-time students. They do not describe the eventual completion rate of every Regent student: transfers, part-time students, and many returning adults are outside the standard first-time cohort. That distinction matters at a university with substantial transfer enrollment and online study. The rates are useful for comparing defined cohorts, but they cannot predict whether an individual student will finish on schedule.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Regent University?

College Scorecard program figures report earnings measured one year after completion for qualifying former students in a field; they are not starting-salary promises or a measure of every graduate. Reported examples include $35,573 for business administration and management, $27,537 for psychology, and $29,797 for criminal justice and corrections.

These figures should be read with care. College Scorecard earnings measures generally cover federally aided students with earnings records that meet its reporting rules, and a field label alone does not establish that the figure represents only bachelor's graduates. Results can reflect differences in degree level, occupation, location, further study, and how soon graduates enter full-time work. Comparing a program's reported earnings with its likely borrowing and total cost is more informative than treating a single figure as a forecast.
