Conventional four- and six-year freshman graduation rates are a poor measure of Relay's graduate educator programs. Those measures generally track first-time, full-time undergraduates pursuing bachelor's degrees, rather than working adults pursuing graduate credentials.
A more useful completion question is how many students in a specific Relay pathway finish their degree or certificate within its expected timeframe. Applicants should also distinguish completing Relay coursework from obtaining a state teaching license: licensure may require separate exams, supervised experience, or administrative approval. Program-specific completion and certification outcomes are more informative than an undergraduate graduation-rate comparison.
There is no reliable program-level, one-year-after-graduation earnings figure here that would support a salary claim for Relay graduates. Applicants should be wary of treating a general teacher salary estimate as the expected return from a particular Relay credential.
Educator pay depends heavily on school district, state, experience, role, contract terms, and whether a graduate obtains certification. For an individual financial comparison, a district's published salary schedule may be more useful than a broad earnings average. It can show how that employer treats a master's degree or additional credits, although placement on the schedule is subject to its own rules.
