Rhodes College

What are the graduation rates for students at Rhodes College?

Rhodes reports a four-year graduation rate of 79% and a six-year rate of 85% for the measured first-time, full-time undergraduate cohorts. The six-year measure allows more time to complete a bachelor's degree; it does not mean that the typical student takes six years.

The reported first-year retention rate is 92%, meaning that most students in the measured entering cohort returned the following fall. These are institution-level outcomes, not predictions for an individual applicant. Standard first-time student graduation rates also do not describe transfer students' completion patterns in the same way.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Rhodes College?

Federal College Scorecard field-of-study data report earnings for some Rhodes programs one year after completion. The reported one-year median is $41,921 for business administration, management and operations; for computer science, it is $35,837. These figures refer to graduates included in the federal earnings measure who were working and not enrolled, not to every person who completed those majors.

Other reported one-year medians include $23,132 for psychology and $20,208 for biology. Such early-career figures can be especially incomplete indicators for fields in which graduates commonly pursue further education. Earnings also vary by occupation, location and experience, and a program figure should not be read as a salary offer or a forecast for a prospective student.
