What are the graduation rates for students at Rocky Mountain College?

Rocky Mountain College's reported six-year graduation rate is 48%, while its four-year rate is 28%. These measures track defined cohorts of first-time, full-time students seeking a degree; they are not the percentage of all students, including transfers and part-time students, who eventually finish.

The difference between the two rates shows that some students in the measured cohort completed after the fourth year. The reported first-year retention rate is 69%, meaning roughly seven in ten students in its measured cohort returned the following fall. Rates describe past groups, not an individual student's likelihood of graduating. Applicants can use them to ask about course availability, advising, costs beyond four years, and completion patterns in their intended program.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Rocky Mountain College?

Program-level College Scorecard figures offer a limited view of earnings about one year after completion for graduates included in that federal measure. Reported figures include $36,903 for air transportation, $33,348 for business administration, $27,494 for biology, and $21,875 for sports, kinesiology, and physical education.

These are early-career observations for the measured populations, not starting-salary offers or predictions for every graduate. Earnings can reflect the local labor market, further education, occupation, and differences in who has reportable earnings. The figures also do not capture the full value or cost of a degree. For a useful comparison, students should consider likely borrowing, the credentials required for their intended occupation, and whether they expect to enter graduate school soon after completing a bachelor's degree.
